The music sounds vaguely Genesis-like. :-)

Views: 8709

Here's one more quick bit I found from WOR Channel 9 in New York - a slide with an excerpt of a live news update. These people must have had an early cable system here that picked this up.

Voiceover by Ray Marland.

"Have a nice day if you can..."

This aired on Chicago TV (via Cable) likely in October of 1979.

WJYS Channel 62 - Home Shopping Club (1993)

Views: 3532

Here's some footage from WJYS Channel 62 and their Home Shopping Club. Would this also be considered a sign-on? Their doesn't seem to be any edits in the video but that's how it looks - with static, and then that Video Magic credit before it smoothly transitions into a promo. Any idea?

If anyone is clamoring for more of this footage I could post a few more parts.

Based on what the lady says in the promo near the beginning, this likely aired on local Chicago TV...

Not sure what the blue bar on the bottom of the screen was supposed to be for...

This aired on local Chicago TV on either Friday, July 29 1983 or Monday, August 1st 1983. (kind of conflicting information - date on the screen is the 29th but the anchor references August 1st)
