or more commonly a military band playing an instrumental version used to be 
heard across the dial at midnight Sunday as stations signed off for weekly 
maintenance.  

TV stations also played the Star Spangled Banner nightly at sign-off.  That's 
a relic of the past now that most remain on the air 24/7.
