People back then were more patriotic and respectful than they are now.

I miss the good ol' days of the classic sign-off every night. It was always on the weekends though, since I had to go to elementary school the next day! Boy... am I dating myself?

Heard on sign-offs prior to 1982 between the "key station" and studio location info was this: "Service to our community through television programs that entertain, inform and educate. This is the pledge of WABC-TV as a subscriber in good standing to the Television Code of the National Association of Broadcasters. This seal assures you of Channel 7's constant efforts to present the finest programs." This wording dated in that form to the late 1950's.

True, 'wm'- but I wanted to make sure everyone who's never see this sign-off knew exactly how it began....
