That's probably how NBC network broadcasts were heard in South America, since the radio waves from VHF transmissions reverse polarity when they go across the equator.
Every once in a while in the '60s and very early '70s on independent UHF stations, you'd see a commercial get placed on the reel like this. Usually the results were very bizarre like this, but sometimes it could be quite funny. Once on channel 56 (Boston) they did this with a Cap'n Crunch ad and you had the Cap'n, Sea Dog and Jean LaFoote (the Barefoot Pirate) chasing each other backwards around the ship. Ahhh, I guess you had to be there.
@YountPower Not misunderstood. That was what it sounded like. Now do you understand how people can hear backwards messages in music? If you hear stuff backwards, eventually you're bound to hear things that sound like real words. As a child, I played a record of Perry Como reciting "The Night Before Christmas" backwards and it sounded at one point like he said "pants on the wall". It was a running joke between me and my friends for months afterward to just randomly say that to each other.
Seriously, I used to play around with my reel-to-reel tape recorder with recorded sounds and move the tape so that the track on the reverse side would play with the same effect. As I said, !!!tuo raF

Even when upside-down and backwards, it still is one of the best logos ever.

Was this shown on CBN? (That's NBC spelled backwards.) If so, I'd like to hear Pat Robertson's comments on this.

At the beginning, it sounds like the announcer is saying, "You see LA Law," so maybe you DID hear a subliminal message! :-D
