 former KDNA-FM) wanted each evening's "sign-off" to feature a live
 shot of the night crew walking to the studio door and turning out the
 lights.  >>
The former public station WQEX in Pittsburgh had a pre-recorded variation of 
the above, with the operator signing off for the night and leaving the 
station.  The video included him walking through a seedy part of town to wait for a 
bus.  All this was set to a soundtrack of Monty Python's "Always look on the 
Bright Side of Life" with fake - hilarious - credits playing in the background.  

I may have it on VHS.
