Here is a sign-off from then-independent station KTXH-TV in Houston as of April 1984 (nailed it down to the week based on commercials, those are coming soon). This features the station's original Grant Broadcasting stylized "20" logo, which was solidified in to a gold color later that year when Gulf Broadcasting took over.

Preceded by the close for "The Midnight Movie" with "The Great Entertainer" jingle syndicated to many stations during that era. The voiceover during the sign off and for the station in general is Houston radio legend Paul Christy, who would later do voiceovers for KRIV. Coincidentally, the two are now sister stations together under Fox ownership.

Following the sign-off is color bars with the station logo overlaid. There is no SSB or other patriotic music accompanying this sign-off. The station appeared to not shut their transmitter off and left the color bars up all night. I'm not sure because the tape cuts three minutes after.

Subject: meta data incorrect
publication date is given as 4/1084 (18 years after the Battle of Hastings, England in which King Harold lost both an eye and his life). I doubt he was watching TV at the time!
4/1984 better one...
