sign off

Cease broadcasting formally

Sign off is to end a broadcast, communication, or work session.

A radio host signs off at the end of a program.

You sign off on a document to give formal approval: The manager signed off on the budget.

In casual use, signing off means logging out or ending one's participation: I'm signing off for the night.
