Network Finale	comment	The end of your network has arrived. Network Death is imminent. Some networks have just a brief or abrupt sign-off with little to no fanfare, but some do go the extra mile to pay tribute to their history before turning off the transmitter for good. They likely will also decide to herald the arrival of a replacement moments after. This is the trope for when networks decide to go out with a real tribute to themselves, or at least a carefully-chosen final program. See End-of-Series Awareness for when this happens for an individual franchise.

Network Finale / int_b611aafc	comment	For online listeners, the last song was AC/DC 's "Back in Black." For FM listeners, the final song was Pedro SuÃ¡rez-VÃ©rtiz's "Me ElevÃ©,"note as a side note, Pedro SuÃ¡rez VÃ©rtiz was a popular Peruvian singer and composer, and he tragically passed away weeks before on December 28, 2023. but the song was interrupted by the message "God is the owner of radio stations," delivered during the sermon of Rodolfo GonzÃ¡lez Cruz, owner of Radio Bethel, which was a Take That! to the closed station. All social media accounts were deactivated on the night of February 1, ironically turning them into Lost Media.

Network Finale / int_bba90723	comment	The IBA's Channel 33 shut down at that time, but Channel 1 carried on with regular programming (besides news) through 14 May, with a skeleton staff of 20 employees to televise the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest — which went out on TV with no commentary. Before delivering the result of the Israeli's jury vote, spokesperson Ofer Nachshon acknowledged the closure on-air and bid the IBA farewell.

This may have been a tribute to the predecessor Documentary Channel, which ended with an airing of Edward R. Murrow's famous "Wires and Lights in a Box" speech, ending with those exact words, before transitioning to Pivot.

Network Finale / int_d1515d27	comment	WAAF Boston was literally the city's last rock and roll station, sold to EMF/K-Love in February 2020. Hundreds of fans gathered in the parking lot to bid the station and its beloved DJs farewell, while the station aired a final program with appearances by a number of station alumni, as well as Tom Hamilton of Aerosmith (who owes much of their early success to WAAF). "Mistress" Carrie Sarao and her colleague Mike Hsu closed out with Black Sabbath's "Black Sabbath", exhorting listeners to crank their windows down and their volume up (Carrie stated that the song was chosen because Ozzy Osbourne had released a new album that day, and so the new owners would "have to endure Satan first"). This specific example was highlighted in the Rolling Stone article about K-Love and their goals and less than honest tactics.

Network Finale / int_e18cfaa	comment	Radio Disney rarely, if ever, played any song more than a few months old. This was until it was announced to be closing down in early 2021. After the deejays were retired on New Year's Eve, Radio Disney played a shuffled selection of hits from across its 24-year history. Their last terrestrial radio station in Los Angeles, which had been playing their Country station since 2017, also flipped back to the pop feed for the final weeks. Radio Disney was finally silenced without fanfare on April 14th, 2021, the last song allegedly being Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten,"note This may or may not have been a random pick, with its theme of new beginnings and use at graduations after which AM 1110 switched to a "burner" simulcast of sister station KSPN's sports talk format.

On the next day, the station flipped to Sonic Radio, an alternative-rock radio station. Their first song? ''Killing in the Name'', which was played one more time.

Network Finale / int_f711d70d	comment	There are a few songs commonly used for the last play of a dying station, depending on its format. These include, but are not limited to: Boyz II Men's "End Of The Road" (Urban), Garth Brooks's "The Dance" (Country), Semisonic's "Closing Time" or R.E.M.'s "It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" (Alternative), Metallica's "Fade to Black" (Rock), and *NSYNC's â€œBye Bye Byeâ€� (Top 40/Hot AC). And if it fits well enough, there's always the song it started out with. For instance, Australian station Magic 693 signed off in 2006 with "Magic Moments" by Perry Como, the first song that was played when the Magic format replaced 693 3EE in 1994.
