The last episode aired Feb. 28, 1983, which was a Monday, as that was the show's normal air date by then. This must have been timed for the weekend just before.
I was watching on that night more than thirty years ago, and yes, there was a big build up then, too, with the New York City affiliate (I think the same one responsible for this ad) having a special talking about such things as the filming of the last episode and a party that was being held at Alan Alda's old college. Man, that opening scene with Hawk and Sidney must have been some party-killer!
Bob Sirott hosting makes it pretty clear to me that it's from the Chicago affiliate, Chicago being Sirott's home turf for many many years. (He's still around)
