- From WSM Channel 4 in Nashville, TN (now WSMV), here's a Midnight Movie presentation of the Sherlock Holmes mystery "The Scarlet Claw" [1944], followed by sign-off news and the sign-off itself. (Though not on here, a few who'd worked at the station in the years up to this would find fame in Chicago - notably, one Carol Marin).

Station ID slide (voiceover by Joe Cook)
Midnight Movie opening (with voiceover preview by Joe Cook) - what do you call that effect of the closing shutter? Didn't they use that in James Bond openings too? In any case it's kind of creepy and cool. :-)

I hope Fuzzy Memories puts up more of these..
I love old tv with their ads intact..
Yes I started watching at midnight..
Oh wow, came for the movie to fall asleep to! Wasn't expecting Johnny Cash 🤗💜
Thanks for sharing WSM TV 4s MIDNIGHT MOVIE. I really miss our local channels (WTVF, WSMV, WKRN, and WDCN (now NPT)) airing old films. Thanks for the memories.
Such weirdly good memories of staying up to 3am and seeing the sign off.
Cameroo Boomerang. I'm 75 years old and I can still remember seeing these movies on WTTG Channel 5 in Washington D.C. The Friday night Channel 5 midnight movie. To this day I still watch old movies when ever I can. And on Sunday afternoons we had Sherlock Holmes theater on WDCA Channel 20 also in Washington D.C. So many precious and cherished memories. God Bless. And God Bless these old time Actors for these great movies.
I enjoyed every second. Commercials included. I miss days of old so very much!
Old stuff is better than today's woke bs.
I lived in the Nashville area as a teen, and I was living in the area at the time of this video. However I'm sure I didn't see this programming, as I was on a Boy Scout trip this weekend. I remember about a year later that WSM-TV carried the NBC Late Night Movie Sunday nights after the news at 10:30 PM instead of its own movies, at least for a couple years. About a year later, spring 1980, WSM-TV started carrying a weekly talk show hosted by anchorman Dan Miller that was called MILLER AND COMPANY after SNL. Sometime after fall 1980, when SNL had a ratings collapse, WSM-TV carried MILLER AND COMPANY at a different time, Sunday nights I think.
This video is world class, especially the sign off announcement from Anchorman Dan Miller with an easy listening tune from Mayoham’s “Home Country” Music Package. The sign-on announcement, which I have not seen since it originally aired, also featured Miller’s voice and the same cut from “Home Country.”
I saw this movie as a kid and I loved it! Watched as many Sherlock Holmes movies as I could after that.
"The Scarlet Claw" was one of the many "Sherlock Holmes" movies that are in the Public Domain, along with the rest of the "Sherlock Holmes" film series.
Claw. It’s claw
The Midnight Movie theme and the sign-off music are from Mayoham Music's Home Country package, even though WSM didn't use it for the news.

Pretty cool having Jack Webb narrate a local PSA.
It's fun to see David Naughton in his old Doctor Pepper commercial, just before he became better known as "An American Werewolf in London!"
2:15 is the opening to WSM-TV’s “Midnight Movie” and it was a clone of the James Bond “Gun Barrel” opening.
0:55 There are many ways to show a loved one you care...buying their preferred toilet paper is right at the top
oh sweet analog tv how i miss you staticier the better
I miss being able to receive the "snowy" channels on a cloudy day, too.
@@laurabeane8862 always made sesame street much more enjoyable too
I have a portable washer but I want the old school Hoover one now 😭💜
There used to be a podcast of "CBS Mystery Theater" episodes archived from 1974 that originated from WOR New York. Not only did they leave the ads in, they left the station bumpers. Bob and Ray would be on after the show. Some of the episodes still had the News Brief on when the show was over. Which is good. I want to know whether or not President Nixon was a crook, too.😃

GOLD
This must have come on right after Saturday Night Live.
Oh, it did. (This was what made their airing that Hoover ad with Jane Curtin so ironic.)
I always thought this was the best of the Rathbone series.
How we miss the late night TV sign-off. Now it's just infomercials up the wazoo. ☹️
The best - I love the old sign-off segments. We were a more civilized world then, even in Wartime. Everything now is high definition crap .
Do you guys by any chance have the opening to Cartoon Carnival? I can't find that anyplace.
WSM = "We Shield Millions." (Or it did at that time.)
OMFG!

Is that Dan Miller on the sign-off? Or Ralph Emery? Or someone else?
Definitely Dan Miller
Absolutely. If you grew up in Middle Tennessee as I did, that's one voice you can't mistake for anyone else's (the same would go for Ralph Emery and Bill "Hoss" Allen, among others). Miller did more than news at Channel 4; he also did voiceovers in the announcing booth between programs on certain shifts, and also spots and promos for the WSM radio stations--and Channel 4 itself. Those were probably supplements to his basic paycheck as lead anchor at 6 and 10 p.m., since Nashville was not, back then, a top 25 TV market like it is these days. Today, he wouldn't have to bother, and he eventually cut back on the outside work over time.
@@mtstroud Indeed. I grew up in Middle Tennessee as well.
@@mtstroud Especially after NLT (nee National Life) spun the WSM stations off (Channel 4 to George Gillet, WSM-AM/FM the Opry Opryland and the Hotel to Gaylord)...
