Was CBN & the Family Channel about ready to merge? Seemed like saw both CBN & Family Channel promos, but today it's ABC Family.

I do recall that CBN went to the Family Channel. I think it was right around this time. Maybe a year later or so.

This would actually be from 1988. Oh, and I noticed the promo @ 0:02 for Remington Steele on The Family Channel was a CBN promo!

Thanks for the date update. It's been so long that I forgot. I have some footage from Prevue guide before they cut the screen in half and included video above. I'll post it when I find it.

I love the promo for "It's a Wonderful Life" on Family Channel. Those were the days when it was in the public domain and you could see it all December long on about a dozen different channels.
