  • I never heard of Spotlight;cool intro.Does anyone have Movie Channel Intros from early 80's?

  • Yes, check the links under More from This User..

  • Never heard of this Pay-tv channel. Is this the ancestor to the Movie Channel.

  • It was around when TMC started but I don't think they're connected. I remember when Spotlight went off our cable system in Colorado and they replaced it with TMC, but it wasn't as if it was still the same network and they had renamed or been bought out. Even HBO had only been on the air a couple of years by this point so I think there were several similar channels before the 'shakedown' as many folded because they were all competing for subscribers.

  • @Jtaylor1 If I recall correctly, Spotlight was an earlier iteration of Cinemax.

  • do you remember the cartoon movies they played ? i remember watching some wierd cartoons back in 1981, one had a world where a young girl who was to be queen, played with a turtle while they guarded a flame that floated in the water and the end had her friend being transported by a bubble from the water into the sky and she didnt wanna be queen, and i also remember rome0 and Julie8

  • This channel was owned by Times Mirrors'Dimension cable.

  • Spotlight was A pay cable channel started by Times Mirrors'Dimension Cable in 1978.The Service went dark in 1984.

  • I worked for this company from 1982 to 1984 when it was bought by Showtime when Time Mirror (LA Times)shut it down. We up linked from a location in Laguna Niguel CA to SATCOM 3R.

    This place was very cutting edge for the early 1980's!

  • I am waiting for the ad that says:

    "Spotlight! Shinning Bright! We light up the stars with Spotlight!"

  • I am glad to see there are some of you who remember Spotlight. I liked their movie intros or channel bumpers! I hope more appear. I am still waiting for the Spotlight intro where the full ad phrase was sung: "Spotlight! Shinning Bright! Day and Night! We light up the stars with Spotlight!"

  • It was on here earlier,but it got deleted.

  • I saw that one you tube months ago,but haven't seen it since.Sucks,I would of liked to download it.

  • Can't believe I'm seeing this...worked there...great bunch of folks. Was sorry tp see it go.
