Signing-Off Catchphrase

aka: Sign Off Catch Phrase

Wise words that the average TV Tropes user should take to heart.

"Good night, and good luck."

— Edward R. Murrow, legendary CBS news anchor

Closing out an episode or segment by way of something repeated by the host of a show or a character. Particularly common in News Broadcasts, to help set the reporters and anchors apart from the crowd.

Can overlap with That's All, Folks! (if it's the outright end of the show) or The Stinger.

A Sister Trope to "On the Next Episode of..." Catch-Phrase, Ending Theme. Also compare Every Episode Ending and So Once Again, the Day Is Saved.

Might include a Continuity Announcement, a short announcement between programs that identifies the network; very frequent in the news.

Seems like we've just begun when suddenly we're through. Goodbye, goodbye, good friends, goodbye, 'cause now it's time to go. But hey, I say, well that's OK, 'cause we'll see you very soon, I know (very soon, I know).

• Linda Ellerbee's sign-off catch phrase: "And so it goes." A case of a Borrowed Catchphrase, since it originated with Lloyd Dobyns, the anchor of NBC's Weekend, who in turn borrowed it from the "so it goes" Arc Words in Slaughterhouse-Five. Ellerbee later joined Dobyns as co-anchor on the show, so she adopted it as well.
  • When Ellerbee, as herself, hosted a (fake) retrospective of Ellen's showbiz career as the final episode of Ellen to be produced, she signed off as per usual.

On his Countdown podcast (est. 2022), he says "good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck" (knowing you might hear it at any time, although he usually puts them out just after midnight eastern time). When he closed on a lighthearted note, he wadded up a piece of paper and hurled it at the camera, "smashing" it. He also did this on his 2013 ESPN 2 show.
• Over on NBC, Earl Godwin closed off his news broadcast with "God bless you, one and all."
• On public television's Nightly Business Report, co-anchor Paul Kangas always signed off each broadcast he co-anchored with "I'm Paul Kangas in Miami wishing all of you the best of good buys!", a pun on good-byes, during which Kangas would also give off a trademark salute.
• On September 1, 1986, Dan Rather started using the sign-off "Courage" on the CBS Evening News. Responding to negative public reaction (and the pleas of his staff), he stopped using it on September 8. In defiance at having been basically forced to resign from the show in the aftermath of Rathergate,^explanationOn September 8, 2004, CBS' 60 Minutes began airing a series of reports on George W. Bush's National Guard service record. They were based on some memos supposedly in the files of Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian, and provided by Texas Army National Guard LtCol Bill Burkett to 60 Minutes producer Mary Mapes. The memos, purporting to date from 1973, portrayed Bush as insubordinate and cowardly while in the Guard. Insufficient research and confirmation had been done ahead of time, and the memos were soon proved to be forgeries. Rather defended the memos on the air, believing the content was accurate even if the memos were faked. Four people lost their jobs at CBS, and Rather resigned. Rather had had little to do with the acceptance of the memos and the 60 Minutes broadcast, which is more like Mapesgate. he reused it for his final broadcast in 2004

When he was in Florida, he would say "Miami Beach" instead of New York.
• Most broadcasts of the Philippine evening newscast TV Patrol ends with one of the anchors (Mostly Ted Failon or Noli De Castro) saying "Maraming Salamat at Magandang gabi, Bayan!" ^note  Thank you and Good night, Nation! In recent times, this is after the last talks between the anchors related to the last report of that episode.
• During World War II, news broadcasts kind of suspended the greetings/signoff thing as the news roundup came into being and reporters in key hotspots just gave matter-of-fact accounts of what they saw and heard. CBS' Roger Mudd has more about this in his book The Place To Be.
• During the COVID-19 Pandemic, CBS Evening News anchor Norah O'Donnell briefly adopted "Stay positive, and test negative."
• Lester Holt closes the NBC Nightly News with "Please take care of yourself... and each other."

• Hearts Of Space: Stephen Hill and Anna Turner's landmark New Age music program (link), founded in 1973, has ended since February 1990 with Stephen's gentle "Safe journey, space fans... wherever you are." This reassuring signoff may have come from the fact that many early listeners were (and some probably still are) mind trippers, using the broadcast to accompany contemplative LSD sessions.
• I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue:
  • In the earliest years, the sign-off would usually be some joke about Humph looking at his watch:
  Humph: Well, with Goofy's tail pointing up and Mickey Mouse's hand pointing down, I realise my Rolex is a fake... and that we've reached the end of the show.
  • The later years would utilize a Signing Off Mad Libs Catch Phrase which goes something like "And so as the <noun> of <meaniningless meaningful word> <adjectives> the <noun> of <meaningless meaningful word> and <either the same pattern again or some sort of pun on the first clause>, I notice it's the end of the show. So from the teams, myself, and the good people of <town>, goodbye." For example:

• That Gosh Darn Hippie Show: "Have a groovy weekend", regardless of when the show actually airs.
• This American Life always ends with a quote from some part of that week's show, taken out of context and humorously attributed to creator Torey Malatia. The only time they didn't do this was when they reported on Mike Daisey's faked anecdotes in his story about Chinese Foxconn workers.^note Daisey did go to China, and the facts he relates about Foxconn workers are true. However, his own story, about what he did there, what he saw and what was said to him, was almost totally fabricated.
  Ira. WBEZ management oversight for our program by our boss, Mr. Torey Malatia. And I think this is a week I am just not in the mood for an extra quote here from Torey.

• Chuck Thompson, an announcer with the Baltimore Orioles and Baltimore Colts in the '60s and '70s, would sign off after those teams' victories with "Ain't the beer cold!"
• Another inversion of an announcer always opening a broadcast with a catchphrase is Brent Musburger's "You are looking live at [venue] in [city]." He claims he started doing this partly as a way to tip off gamblers about game time weather conditions at stadiums, so they could take them into account as they placed their final bets.

• We Happy Few: Uncle Jack has "I'm afraid we've come to the end of our time" for the end of a good deal of his broadcasts. It takes an appropriately apocalyptic turn during his final broadcast, where the Joy stops working, he remembers everything, and he realizes Wellington Wells itself has truly come to the end of its time due to the fact that no one is making any food.

Real Life

• Before 24 hour TV and radio stations became commonplace (and still used if a station needs goes off the air for something like maintenance), most stations would say something to the effect of "Thank you for watching, and have a good night" or "[insert call sign here] now ends our broadcast day, to return to the air tomorrow morning at [time]" shortly before shutting down for the night. They were legally required to give the name of the company that owned the station, plus the broadcast site, frequency, wattage and location of transmitter and antenna. There was often a Sermonette or brief prayer or reflection after that, leading into a musical Signing Off Catch Phrase in the form of the national anthem of whatever country the station is in. U.S. stations often used the Lord's Prayer (one memorable version had Chief Shatka Bear Step (Nez Perce) giving the prayer in a Native American sign language), "America the Beautiful" with nature scenes, "This Is My Country", "God Bless America" or "My Country 'Tis Of Thee", or a poem like High Flight. Some versions of "The Star Spangled Banner" could get pretty creative with their video production.^note "Flag Evolution" was produced in 1971 by Saxton Graphics Associates and aired on many stations. There's even an updated modern version. Many ended off with an hour or so of The Test Pattern.
  • In some countries the national anthem at sign-off was (or is) a legal requirement. Mexico mandates radio stations to play the anthem at sign-off and sign-on, or, if they run 24 hours, to play it at 12:00 A.M. and 6:00 A.M.

• It's common for Japanese speakers to end a presentation with the sentence ご清聴ありがとうございました (goseichō arigatō gozaimashita) to thank the viewers. Likewise, replace seichō with shichō 視聴 if it's a video and etsuran 閲覧 if it's an art collection/comic.
