I remember one of the competing stations put up a movie show later on where they marketed their 'advantage' that they had no host interrupting the movie. In the commercial they had an obvious Dana Hersey lookalike saying, "And now....for your pleasure I will juggle!" It was kind of funny--but I used to watch The Movie Loft all the time for Dana's info in-between commercials!
@electrogeek77 - NYers probably would have grown up watching movie programs on PIX and Channel 9, and a few others. The Movie Loft was indy, low-key, and ran lots of great movies. Also, un-cut movies and, kind of unknown ones too, with a lot of background info. at breaks by Dana Hersey. First place I saw Spielbergs' "Duel", and others. Guess you can only go back here on YT..
Wow, the good old days when a TV station could say "Merry Christmas"!!!!!

I met Dana in 1980 when I was on the Willie Whistle Show....
