This is great. I lived in Dallas back in the early 80's and I remember some of our local TV stations signing off in the early evenings to broadcast "Preview". I also remember one other network called "Veu", anyone remember that one? It was along the same lines as ONTV and Preview. I believe it aired on Channel 33 in Dallas. All I remember was the logo. The word "Veu" was written in yellow and it looked like it was in the middle of space with stars in the background. Anyone remember this?
After consulting my ONTV guides, I found out this clip was recorded in June of 1984 HOWEVER I cannot pin down which date - ONTV had a tendency to not follow their line-up.
But I'm positive this was recorded in June of 1984
It may be possible...but for some reason I remember taping this around August or September. Now although this is ON TV, it was broadcast by Preview Subscription Television...so I don't know if Preview delayed ON TV's programming or not. I know that by the Summer of 1985, Preview simulcasted SelecTV programming until Preview's demise New Year's eve 1985.
Interesting...... as far as I know ONTV was the sole proprietor of the station and didn't "branch" off in any respect. Same thing with SPECTRUM as far as I know because I didn't even know Preview/SelecTV existed until just a year ago.....
The sign ons, the sign offs and the scrambled mode are all re-uploaded in better quality...as well as adding two Preview commercials as well. I will have more when I get the videos processed.
