Unfortunately the recording is truncated - it was found at the end of a Beta tape and as you'll see something had been taped over top - but here is a partial sign-off message from Davenport, Iowa's WOC 6 TV (now KWQC), serving the Quad Cities. Not precisely sure of the date but I'd figure it to be mid-1980s.
