Here is an ad for the short lived SuperTV service. I love it...now if I could just find the intro they used to have (playing the Jackson's "Can you Feel It"...)
My Grandfather had this. My Grandmother didn't want a stranger coming into their house putting holes in the wall to install basic cable so he was stuck with this and the roof antenna that was put on the house when it was built. My Grandfather finally convinced her to let him get Dish Network back in 1995 because Baltimore City cable was owned by the now defunct TCI of Baltimore at the time and it stunk. Comcast owns TCI's old Metro Dr. office and cable TV line network and it is way better now.
The bad thing about Super TV was that it only came on at night. I used to babysit a couple of boys when I was in high school and after they went to bed, I could watch the softcore porn until their parents came home.
i still have the program guides that used to come in the mail, one has a star trek 2 the wrath of kahn cover and the other has superman 3. Super tv lasted til around 86 til it became obsolete with the onset of cable television...
I actually used to live in Maryland, and we got Super TV. I still have tapes that have the Super TV intros to a couple of movies on them. No Jackson 5, though, just the long theme of the generic trumpet music. It's about as '80s as you can imagine, but even so, that logo is awesome.
@UIWWildthing I know thats was the Channel 2 Mascot. What was the mascot's name.

@Baltimoreman78 That was the Channel 2 mascot that they used for years. For Orioles' coverage, he was wearing an O's cap with the 2 logo
