In the mid-1960's, when FM was struggling, local WIVK-850 Knoxville would sign off at sunset with "For those of you with only half a radio, this concludes your broadcast day of WIVK.  For those of you with a whole radio, you're invited to stay with us for continued good listening tonight on 107.7 FM."
 
Daytimer sign-offs used to be lavish productions, with a religious message ("Be Still and Know" and "Day by Day with Jesus" were two of the more common ones), flowery comments ("If we have in some way enriched your day ..."), FM plugs ("For the best in news, weather and music until 10:00 this evening, we invite you to tune to [FM frequency]", and the Star-Spangled Banner or Dixie.  
 
Today, it seems automation equipment just ends the programming in progress and cuts the carrier (sometimes).
