During the Top 40 days of WAAM in Ann Arbor, Mi in the mid-70's, we signed-off with the last half of the Mickey Mouse Club Alma Mater (beginning with "Now it's time to say goodbye..."). At sign-on, we used "Reveille Rock" by Johnny & The Hurricanes ("...Wake up!").

In 2004, when Houston's Rock 101 KLOL switched to Spanish, their last song was The Who's "I'm Free", which was the first song that they played when they switched to Album Rock in 1970.
KDOK-FM Tyler, TX played "American Pie" (The day the music died) when they switched from classic hits to news-talk in 2009.

Good Night - The Beatles
KDUX 104.7 Aberdeen, WA in the '80s (as a CHR) used to sign-off at midnight with this (and "Carry That Weight"). Unfortunately, the cart they played this off of seemed to get s-l-o-w-e-r over time......Last time I heard it, Paul McCartney was sounding like Vaughn Monroe....... I'm sorry, but if I were the last jock of the night, I'd have re-carted that thing myself if the PD didn't do anything about it....... |

There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the risks of inaction.

On April Fools Day 1983, after two and a half years with a country format, KHJ in Los Angeles went back to pop music (mostly oldies). The last country song they played was The Last Country Song by Ed Bruce---such an obvious choice!---and then came Bill Haley's Rock Around The Clock. Many listeners thought the format change was a stunt. It wasn't.

This one tops my list. It's the sign-off that was used by WFAA-TV in Dallas beginning in the 1970's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUDi2Ocak9cWhen the switch to digital happened that sign-off was the last thing that aired on WFAA-TV's analog signal. |

Two trucks loaded with copies of Roget's Thesaurus collided in midtown Manhattan. Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, taken aback, shocked, rattled and awestruck.
