- Combined here in one clip are the sign-off and sign-on of South Carolina's oldest TV station and Charleston's longtime CBS network affiliate. The sign-off was recorded sometime in mid-August 1989 and the sign-on on or around 6 November 1989. The clip commences with the closing seconds of a late-night classic flick show called When Movies Were Movies, which was hosted by Mike Hiott. It's Mr. Hiott's voice we hear delivering both the sign-off and sign-on announcements. Both the sign-off and sign-on features a video montage of the Charleston area, including the historic section of downtown. Also seen briefly are the two giant steel bridges over the Cooper River, which the Webmaster had the privilege of driving on during a vacation with friends at Charleston a few years before this clip was recorded. Both bridges were replaced by a new eight-lane cable-stayed bridge in 2005. Both the sign-off and sign-on plays a late 1960s SSB film produced by the United States Navy (the sign-on has the first several seconds of it missing). These videos were captured at my home near Winston-Salem, North Carolina, at least 250 miles from Charleston, which explains the fuzziness in the video.
WCSC-TV is South Carolina's first TV station, first broadcasting on June 19, 1953.
Used to listen to it at Fort Jackson, whenever we had a chance. E-18-5
I completely forgot about when movies were movies until seeing this. Damn time passes quickly.
Ship at 1:46 is my former ship, USS Charles F. Adams. Weird to be youtube surfing and see that. We used to go up to Charleston from our homeport of Mayport, FL. from time to time. Many moons ago. Thanks for the vid.
ea6a IT APPEARS AGAIN AT 3:10 OF THE VIDEO!
Thank you for your service
I miss the days when stations would actually sign off. The anthem and the static noise would wake me up off the couch, to go bed!
I totally forgot about this. thanks for a forgotten memory.
Hey, I live in Charleston SC!
Correct, Danielle. Channel 25 first signed on as WCOS-TV on 1 May 1953, at least a month before WCSC-TV began telecasting. However, Channel 26 was off the air for five years (1956-1961), so it is not the longest continuously operating TV station in South Carolina (WCSC-TV holds that distinction).
I wish they had the old ones from the 70s
Gotta be a Navy anthem, if it's Charleston.
Thanks fellas.😉
Wish I could answer that, Eric. Some sign-ons does seem to move faster. Maybe that's why I like the sign-OFFS better!
Thank you for posting this video.
Also I think sign-ons are rushed so they can start airing revenue generating commercials asap
These are great. Love em....but before I die I'd love to see at least ONE of the UNITED STATES COAST GUARD (not sure if any even exist)...we served in every war WW1 escorting troop ships. WW2 we operated the landing craft at Normandy and the Pacific Islands. Korea off the coast of Inchon. Vietnam, off the coast and on the inland waters. Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, taking and securing the ports. Not to mention Homeland Security (were active on 9/11 too organizing and directing boat lifts to get people out of Manhattan)
@SignOffsGuy--
Why does the sign-on seem a little more rushed than the sign-off?
what happened to Mike Hyatt,did he retired?
I believe he lives in Cottageville.
1:33 USS West Virginia she is a submarine
That's a Skipjack-class SSN. West Virginia is a SSBN. That video is from the first half of the 1960s, way before the West Virginia was commissioned.
bruh😂😂😂😂

Why did it go into fuzz mode at 2:33
To shut off the signal tower
The carrier signal was turned off, leaving the viewer with a blank channel 5, no station broadcasting!
