Here is a clip from the now-defunct Preview subscription television service broadcasting from WSMW Channel 27 in Worcester in 1984. This also contains a music video from the Shakin' Pyramids - Preview/ONTV was known for airing music videos from lesser-known groups in those days.

  • 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.

  • 1st post!

    so you finally got yer tuner. now reupload the videos already up here.

  • They will be re-uploaded. I'm working on it.

  • 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.

  • Videoholic80's has A clip from VEU,as well as more Preview clips.

  • 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?

  • ONTV was awesome! Here in LA,it aired on KBSC(now Telemundo affiliate KVEA)52 TV.

  • Wow, I sound like a raving maniac

  • Awesome job Skiggley! cant wait to see what youll put up next!!

  • Thanks,

    Shakin Pyramids was one of my favourite bands on those days.

  • 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.....
