1st (known) sign-off (1980s)
Visuals: On a black background, "WSJK-TV" appears and eases into the center, and as soon as it settles, "CHANNEL 2" appears below in an italic version of the same font, and "SNEEDVILLE, TENN." appears in a smaller version of the same. Red lines start appearing from the top down, and after they all appear the bumper remains still for a long time. Then, the text disappears, and the lines turn blue. "MICROWAVE STATIONS" then appears, followed by "WGR-93" and "WGR-94". The text then disappears, to be replaced by the same text from earlier, and new red lines appear between the blue lines. This is normally followed by the Moog SSB.
Variant: Sometimes, the feed cuts off before the Moog SSB plays.
Sign-on Variant: Same, except the Moog SSB plays first before the bumper animates.
Technique: Unknown.
Audio: Just Hop Edwards saying one of two things depending on whether it's a sign-on or a signoff.
Voiceovers:
- Sign-on: "WSJK-TV begins its telecast schedule for today. WSJK-TV operates on Channel 2 at an assigned frequency of 54 to 60 megahertz, with 100,000 watts visual and 20,000 watts aural power, by the authority of the Federal Communications Commission in Washington, D.C. WSJK-TV is owned and operated by the East Tennessee Public Communications Corporation, with its studios located in Knoxville on the campus of the University of Tennessee.
