I just added 3 more YouTube Tulsa sign-offs on this page: http://tulsatvmemories.com/signoffs.html

Sad to report, Tuffy (Wayne Johnson) passed away last week. Here is an interview with Wayne on KTUL from last year.

Tmccartney, it hasn't been in use for quite a while. KTUL had another nice one from that era backed with Ray Charles' version of 'America The Beautiful'. I'll have to convert that one from RealVideo to YouTube, too.

It's ONE of the oldest TV station sign-offs in existence---the "one of" part must have fallen in the bit bucket when I typed the note last night.
