End with game scores. Just as weather saves the information people really want (the forecast) for the end, so the sports segment ends with information about how local teams fared at home or on the road. The traditional “feel good” story that concludes a newscast is designed to leave on a positive note after a wealth of bad news has been.

• TruNews is the world's leading news source that reports, analyzes, and comments on global events and trends with a conservative, orthodox Christian worldview.
• The weather block of a newscast provides detailed information on the day's weather, five-day forecast, possible storms and weather disturbances that may strike a particular area. Many weather forecasters use digital, colored maps with graphics that display weather patterns, cloud formations and areas of heavy rainfall.

Go To

Closing out an episode or segment by way of something repeated by the host of a show or a character.

This is very common in News Broadcasts, to help set the reporters and anchors apart from the crowd.

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

A Sub-Trope of Catchphrase.

A Sister Trope to 'On the Next Episode of...' Catchphrase, Ending Theme.

  • Individual segments featured this as well. His fireside chat-style speeches to middle-aged men always ended with 'Remember, I'm pullin' for ya... we're all in this together.' And the Handyman Corner concluded with the reminder that 'if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.' Though as time went on he frequently followed up with 'Now if you'll excuse me...' and a quip about what he intends to do with his latest creation, just before it usually goes horribly wrong or horribly right.
• Red Skelton: 'Good night, and may God bless.'
• Robot Wars would end with Craig Charles reciting a four-line poem about the episode's events that always ended '...on Robot Wars', after which Charles would salute the camera and say 'Bye'. Doubles as a Mad Libs Catchphrase.

Until the 2000s, that was usually followed by 'Sesame Street is a production of the Children's Television Workshop.' This would be dropped when CTW was renamed 'Sesame Workshop'.

  • Al's predecessor Willard Scott during The '80s had 'Here's what's happening in your world this morning' or some variant of it, also followed by weather from the local NBC affiliate (which itself would be followed by Willard wishing happy birthday to a centenarian, which amazingly still happens today but on an infrequent basis).
  • Most segments end with 'With _____, I'm _____ and this is Today on NBC,' unless it's the hour or half hour, then it's usually '...But coming up now, your local news.'
• Top Gear: Jeremy Clarkson normally signs off with 'And on that bombshell, it's time to end.' On rare occasions, one of his co-presenters beats him to the punch.

How To End A Newscast Video

• ABC's Nightline ends with something to the effect of, 'Watch Good Morning America tomorrow. They're working while you're sleeping.'
• ABC's often irreverent World News Now had 'Thanks for staying up with us' — at least when Aaron Brown and Lisa McRee weren't laughing too hard.
  • World News Now made fun of the 'More Americans Get Their News From ABC News' slogan (shown over a bald eagle flying), Their sign off was 'More Insomniacs Get Their News From ABC News' (shown over a closeup of two blinking, very tied eyes).
• H.R. Baukhage (see him here talking about working on Stars & Stripes) would growl 'Baukhage talking' to lead off.
• Bill Beutel: 'Good night, good luck, and be well.' When he signed off for the last time before retiring, the news ticker in Times Square read 'Good Luck, be well, Bill Beutel'.

• Sandra Bookman, WABC-TV weekend evening anchorwoman, has 'We're coming back at 11. You should, too.' and 'Thanks for staying up with us.' Her weeknight colleague, Diana Williams, has 'We thank you for watching.'
• Norman Brokenshire of CBS said 'How do you do, ladies and gentlemen?' When he heard that other announcers were 'borrowing' the line, he started going 'How do you do, ladies and gentlemen? How DO you DO?'
• Walter Cronkite would close news broadcasts with, 'And that's the way it is,' followed by the date.
• In Toledo, Ohio, radio station 1370 WSPD had a newscast every weekday at 8:00 a.m. sponsored by Columbia Gas. Each one ended with 'This is Don Edwards filing gas company newscast number (insert number here).' The count made it to 16,000 in 1979.
• Linda Ellerbee's sign-off catch phrase: 'And so it goes.'
• CBS News Sunday Morning host Charles Osgood always closes with, 'I'll see you on the radio,' a reference to his weekday 'Osgood File' commentaries on Westwood One.

• Edward R. Murrow ended his CBS News broadcasts with 'Good night, and good luck' (hence the title of the 2005 biopic starring David Strathairn and George Clooney).
  • Keith Olbermann paid homage by using the phrase on Countdown, particularly after his Special Comments. When he closed on a lighthearted note, he wadded up a piece of paper and hurled it at the camera, 'smashing' it. Keith still does this on his 2014 ESPN 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. After 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, he reused it for his final broadcast.
  • To be specific: On 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.

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 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.
