WTOP-TV 9 (now WUSA) Sign-Off 1964 Re-creation

This clip replaces an earlier attempt at a 1964 WTOP-TV sign-off re-creation. This re-make is closer to what the original sign-off would have looked like. The audio is from 1964 and comes courtesy of Jeff Kadet's oldtvguides.com/analog (he has a number of 1964 audio recordings of TV station sign-offs there). The NAB Seal of Good Practice was the design used from 1959 to 1965, when it was replaced by a color version. The mid-1960s WTOP-TV ID slide comes from Dave Hughes' DCRTV.com, a website devoted to Washington and Baltimore-area media. I do not know the name of the announcer doing this sign-off.
