WCOM-TV Mansfield Sign-Off (1988)

Here’s the sign‑off theme from the short‑lived WCOM‑TV in Mansfield, Ohio. Fred von Stade, longtime general manager of WTVN‑TV, was one of the owners. Tom Burris, former WTVN‑TV station news reporter, is the announcer. The station broadcast from a 1,600‑foot tower in Butler, Ohio. To show you what a monster signal this station had, this was taped in southeast Columbus using an indoor bow‑tie antenna. Sorry for the poor video quality; this is being posted primarily for the great jingle and imaging. It was ahead of its time.
