Views: 2686
Here is a commercial for WCLR 102 FM in Chicago. (Now 101.9 WTMX - The Mix) Tele1st - "Scrambled Delights" (1984)
Views: 7054 Here's an example of some scrambled programming on Tele1st. As Chris (Phantom) described earlier, we see the picture cycling between normal and inverted (negative) colors.

Movin' Easy with Barbra Streisand, James Taylor, Barry Manilow, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel, Radar Weather (I love their first album!), Johnny Mathis, Dionne Warwick, Concise News, Neil Diamond, The Beatles, Clear Traffic Watch (sell outs), Frank Sinatra, and Chicago.
Voiceover by Dave Martin, who before this had also worked at WCFL and voiced
