Born in the '50s around Tulsa, I mainly remember the Star Spangled Banner, with or without video in the background. All the Transmitter, etc. links were listed on a still image in the background. KTUL always listed them verbally, as well, as did some other Oklahoma stations. KTUL was rightly proud of their high power, high tower setup. They were the only station we could get consistently clearly in Checotah, where I grew up. At some point most area stations went to "High Flight" in one form or another as a replacement/addition to the Star Spangled Banner. This usually consisted of a military jet taking off and climbing with the poem in the background.
