Ive got one word for y’all: @Ramona!!!!!

Wow, that signoff looks like they slapped a new graphic slide over much older material — the station owner is listed on an 80s chyron graphic (very likely added when Great American bought the station in 1987) and the logos are on visibly dirty slides. The voiceover by Ron Moore was probably recorded at the same time, but the script was probably similar (guessing though not done by Overland Park-based Moore, who voiced WDAF between 1987 and 1992) when Taft owned WDAF and the slides have to come from something older.

Here's a rather interesting find in a commercial compilation. Despite joining the 24-Hour News craze in the early 1990's, WDAF-TV would still sign off some nights (likely one Saturday or Sunday a month) for regular matinence. This is one example from 1994, just months before being sold to New World and going to Fox, note that the sign-off plugs the station engineers union!
