  • Was it really this long when on air??

  • Hi PortPower,

    The broadcast version would run about thirty seconds, including a voiceover introducing the movie, then fading out or dissolving to the film.

    This is the complete open as originally created.

  • @manhizzy The new "Antenna TV" thing on KTXL's subchannel is pretty cool- lots of old shows with NO on-screen crap! Unfortunately the picture is VERY compressed, and overnight they run movies which are all cut-for-TV versions.

  • @baysadaye I have the QUADRAPHONIC version on 8-track!

  • These are BRILLIANT! If you have any more PLEASE post them! Went out and bought Deodato's album "Prelude after seeing this. BRILLIANT!!!!

  • Of course we all know that the musical track is "Carly and Carole" by Deodato, from the album "Prelude" which included the #2 hit "Also Sprach Zarathrustra" (2001) from 1973? Well, DON'T you????

  • Well said! KOFY TV 20 probably the most innovative of all the Bay Area stations is a prime example of the failure of tv programming made for people and not tv programming made of people (corporates)! James Gabbert would attest to that, and ironically, he would be quite right.

  • Trippy!  I love the 70's feel... :-)

  • It's not necessarily a Tribune issue- remember they have owned both WGN and WPIX from the beginning and those stations were legendary, too.

    This won't happen, but in theory, KTXL could use one of its digital subchannels and create a "Classic KTXL" channel, like what KTLA did a couple of years ago, but a 24-hour subchannel instead of just one weekend. They could air all the old shows they used to, and with whatever movies they can get, relaunch Night Comfort featuring new segments with Tom.

  • I assume you mean the people making the big decisions, not the rank-and-file employees. Do you really want Jim Crandell to lose his job? He's the last link to the old TV40!

    That said, the landscape has changed. KTXL could never be what it once was because cable has cornered the market on most of the good movies and even kid shows- today network Saturday morning cartoons are on life support.

  • Well, I don't watch them anyway. :P

  • KXTV 10 doesn't have HD news either.
