Does anyone remember how Channel 2 signed-off at night during the late 1970s/early 1980s?

Probably an announcer read the sign-off script, played the Air Force film of the National Anthem, then, cut power to the transmitter. It was a pretty standard and mundane procedure at all the stations.

Actually, I'm looking for the uploaded clip of this station sign-off from this era.
