  • End of broadcast day sign-off transmitted by central Ohio's WCMH-TV4 in the mid-1980s, before the age of 24/7 TV. Great shots of old school TV production, graphic arts and telecine equipment.

      I know Tom Browne is best known for Funkin for Jamaica, but Forever More is great. It has a Herb Alpert-esque feel to it, like a faster version of Rise

    Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! I've been looking for this signoff for years, it was such an integral part of my childhood, when I'd stay up way past my bedtime with my old black and white Zenith 19-inch set on (usually to watch Letterman). Also wanted to mention those great shots of the old downtown skyline. (Note the old Roy's Jewelers sign in the street-level shot, the corner of Broad and High Streets...that's where Channel 4's studios are now. Prophetic!)

    This is so fascinating to me. I always wondered how they went about broadcasting TV shows back in the 80s and early 90s... Is there another video that goes into more depth on the process? was the whole process of set it and forget it and let it roll through the day or did each and every TV show get broadcasted from an analog tape being played in a studio and supervised by one individual for each show to queue in and out for commercials and whatnot? I know things are so much different nowadays being everything is digital, just curious what all went into each and every program on different channels being broadcast from a sitcom, to a talk show, to a cartoon exc.

    • @andrewd.conard5088
      @andrewd.conard5088 3 года назад +2

      Network programming came by microwave feed to the affiliate prior to satellite. Commercials were done live or cued on VTR up until a machine like the TCR-100 would run an entire commercial block from cartridges. Lots of machines that no longer exist basically.

    • @richartrod
      @richartrod 3 года назад +2

      I worked at KDOC-TV, a small independent station in the Los Angeles suburb of Anaheim, in the 90's. Our programs and commercials were recorded onto analog videotape from satellite feeds or in-house master tape recordings. The tapes were then encoded and played through an automated playback system that was manually adjusted to keep programs on time. A lot of videocassettes had to be manually swapped out and in between numerous VCR's, especially during commercial breaks.
