Each Friday afternoon, TFTP signs-off for the week with a classic station sign-off sequence for your enjoyment and to bid farewell until Monday...

And throughout 2018, we are featuring "Sign-Offs Through the Years", as we go year-by-year with each successive week.

This 1972 sign-off is from Norfolk, Virginia, station WTAR, the CBS affiliate now known as WTKR. Like last week's sign-off from 1971, this one has original audio paired with a still image from the era. Also like last week's sign-off, the audio consists just of the ownership/technical voiceover (and maybe only part of that voiceover).

With audio that is not high-quality (and consists of only part of the sign-off sequence), and no video at all, these early-1970s sign-offs are not very dynamic, but they are part of the history of television and worthy of our consideration.
