Sign-off (voiced by Fred Maness, from 8-31-64)[]

Now, this is Frederick Maness, on this Monday morning, August 31st, 1964, speaking for the staff and management of WOR-TV, bidding you a very pleasant good night, until this morning when WOR-TV resumes telecasting on channel 9.

Meanwhile, there's more going on than meets the eye; the Amazing Randi and his fascinating guests meet to conjure with the infinite every night, seven nights a week, midnight to dawn on WOR radio, 710 on your dial.

And remember, wherever you'll be tomorrow, you'll get news in depth. 15 minutes of the latest news, market reports, sports developments, and traffic reports, every hour around the clock on WOR radio, 710 on your dial.

We now close our broadcasting day with a moment of prayer. Tonight's prayer is presented in cooperation with the radio and TV office of the Archdiocese of New York, and delivered by the Right Reverend Monsignor Aloysius F. Coogan of St. Mary's Church, Mt. Vernon, New York.
