I would frequently stay up all night during the summer when I was 6-7 years old and watch Prevue Guide all night with my mom. We'd have "sleepovers" and try to figure out what to watch, but then we wouldn't watch anything, we'd just talk and this would be on in the background. That was such a sublime time.
S Perry The same can be said about Sneak Prevue as well. Sadly it was a spin off of Prevue Guide but some cable systems felt they were only allowed to carry one or the other and they couldn’t have both.

@@JanetStarChild yeah it sounds very 80's and was probably made in the 80s but it was a very memorable part of life in the early 90s for a lot of people.
You will think I'm crazy, but I have this on my iPod. Occasionally I will play it and set it on repeat to loop back when it reaches the end. I love it!
this song takes me back when i was 8 years old... i used to sit and watch the movie previews on the side of the screen then they would play this song afterwords. this song was stuck in my head for years! i'm so happy i found it!
Today’s kids will never know the struggle of having to wait for the channel you wanted to watch to scroll back around so you could see what time the show you wanted to see came on, and then someone interrupted you, you missed the channel, and then you had to wait for it again!
Whether I was home, or visiting relatives in FL, this was my “nothing is on, I’m gonna watch the Prevue channel for a while” song. Good times. Simpler times. Better times
This brings me back to when we first got cable at my house in 1990. At the time I saw cable as this magical vault that I finally had access to. The past few years hearing kids at school talk about nickelodeon HBO and mtv, it's like I was now a part of what seemed to be a secret society. It was fantastic and I remember watching preview guide quite often to see what was on and I remember this music so well. I don't think anything brings back purer memories of what life was like back in those days than this music does. It legit sends me right back to my regular routines at the time, where I was living and who my neighbors were, what shows were popular at the time and what thoughts were going through my mind back then. This is nostalgia at it's finest

Brings back memories me and all my cousins spending the weekends nites at grandma and grandpa's house wen we all were young teenage kids. The good old dayz. lol
I was 6, a year after moving from Denver to Westminster, Colorado when I first heard this on TV and was immediately hooked. I get all the great 'prevues' including "Prevue Tonight" every half hour. And a couple of previews, then ads show while the music is playing, then a couple of infomercials to go along with the ID. Watching that and not having to worry about my parents getting mad at me nor grounding me from TV for it. Because it wasn't porn/adult stuff. It was Previews! Or rather, "PREVUES!!!" LOL And the same thing when there was a channel to view Pay-Per-View previews as well. Again, it was just previews along with the schedule of movies to be shown and the music playing.
This used to creep me out as a kid. It was like anticipation leading to something sinister.. cant explain it. Didn't like it at all! I remember like it was yesterday!
goddamn. i know exactly what you mean. im not old enough to have grown with this around, but that feel that someone from the other side is broadcasting the exact same thing over and over again, it's like they're trying to draw your attention from something creepy happening in the background
I remember this, I used to watch this on cable channel 3 in Memphis back in 1991 when I was 6 years old. I still hear its theme in my head every single day.
This is way before my time and my parents had satellite instead of cable, but this plays in my head once in a while. Sounds like the kind of music you'd hear in an MMO lobby while waiting for a match, like in Gunbound in 2005
OMG I remember this on my TV when it would periodically screw up by having split screens and then a message like "press left mouse button to continue." Wow this takes me back.
Considering all the other music that we actually know the origins of, I would say this was just stock music played over a satellite feed. It sounds like a .mod because, most 80s synthesizers used the same technology as the home computers of the time, and sounded very similar.
kargaroc386 and ***** OK, we've found one of the Fidelipac Cart tapes. We will restore it and then send as a .flac file. P.S. The ending part will be restored using this video because the cart doesn't have that part, It cues when reaches that part.
Just curious, how was this music loop played on the channel? Was it just an .AIFF or .MOD file hosted on the Amiga running the Prevue Guide software, and played out through its audio hardware under the software's control?
The music came from a 3rd audio channel on the satellite feed, the Amiga hardware had a special tuner that would switch between the 3 channels (left, right, background music) as needed. This is why in the May 31, 1991 (part 1) video the music stays on during the reboot, because the audio tuner remains stuck on the music until the system is put back in normal mode and gets a command to switch to another audio feed.
eljefecom Ah, I see--it came over the satellite then on a dedicated audio channel/subcarrier--that makes sense, especially during downtime or a reboot as you mentioned (I actually haven't seen that video yet). Thanks a bunch for the info!
This channel failed so many times, hard to imagine it lasted all the way up to the 2000's, but I'm pretty sure they upgraded their software by then so it wasn't always failing like it used to.

how oild u?
I used to spend all day just listening to the music as a child, man I miss the 90s
bro, music is dog water. try listin to some beieber or kanya

This song makes me very calm and makes me think of nostalgia from the 1990s.
More reminds me of vaporwave.
+Pajama Network it also reminds me of the 90's and also reminds me of Cafe's that do piano music
There's an actual vaporwave song that has been sampled from this. 18 Carat Affair's "Live at 5".
The music is from 1991 (and probably made before that year). I'd hardly call it '90s. It sounds very '80s.
it is vaporwave...we lived this....star trek and simpsons and unsolved mysteries
@@JanetStarChild yeah it sounds very 80's and was probably made in the 80s but it was a very memorable part of life in the early 90s for a lot of people.

This Is The Most Nostalgic TV Channel Tune I've Ever Heard!
Reminds me of watching PG as a preteen in the early 90s...always nice when they'd play this all the way through on rare occasions!
God this music brings a strong feeling of nostalgia.
this song takes me back when i was 8 years old... i used to sit and watch the movie previews on the side of the screen then they would play this song afterwords. this song was stuck in my head for years! i'm so happy i found it!
The music takes me back to my childhood at the age of 5, I really miss those days.
This song is my jam. Slow it down to .5 speed and you've got 90s vaporwave.
0.75x... all vaporwave is 90s. this is corperate palm mall music
@@AckzaTV (or 80s).

Watching the prevue guide scroll while listening to the music is an amazing experience while stoned lol
Because of the frequent crashes on Prevue Guide, I think of this song whenever there’s a technical difficulty.
Brings back memories me and all my cousins spending the weekends nites at grandma and grandpa's house wen we all were young teenage kids. The good old dayz. lol

God this reminds me of being by my aunt house in the early 90's
You're not the only one.
saaaaame
Is there any way to tell RUclips, "I'm not going to pay for your premium service. Please stop trying to push it on me."?
Thanks for sharing this.
Nostalgia! 😊
I used to watch this channel when I was a kid and I wish it was back. 😀👍
Lil Ugly Mane sampled this on SENSATIONAL LONNIE WILSMAN - speculation object IV. I'm pretty sure he used this exact video for the sample too..
OMG I remember this on my TV when it would periodically screw up by having split screens and then a message like "press left mouse button to continue." Wow this takes me back.
Sounds like 90's Weather Channel WeatherSTAR 4000 music.
prime shit for the sampling, i'm suprised nobody has used it for vaporwave/mallsoft
18 Carat Affair uses it for "Live at 5" - it's on Spotify
Considering all the other music that we actually know the origins of, I would say this was just stock music played over a satellite feed.

kargaroc386 You're correct as according to the Prevue Networks archives (on the merged PrevueCom's HQ in L.A.).
***** OK. As long we find the original cartridge 4 track tapes (All Fidelipac) in our archives.
Send it to me as well
Also, .flac

marcoman5699 Yes. But the process of restoring is too long.
NOW THIS IS OLD SCHOOL. LOVE IT.
Hackerman from Kung Fury brought me here!
Wait, that song was there?
yee in the hackerman hacking tutorial, youll find it just typing it in the search bar
This gives me the urge to play Atari games, though I can't explain why.
I used to put this on before bed and fall asleep to the music
Sounds like an 80's porn riff
Cody Meehan 😂😂😂😂😂😂
your funny. it does.
This brings back child hood memories
Well, I remember when my cable company cancelled the Prevue Guide channel in 1991, I don't know why.
I remember when i was in elementary school hearing this theme and i missed it and its on youtube as well
Proto-Vaporwave
I wish someone had the Christmas music.
@SupositoryRepository I feel like I'm going back in time, when I vacationed at my grandparents' house in Jacksonville, FL.
@SouthwesternEagle lmao I like how it's telling us what time will follow the one before it. I forgot about this glitch.
So what is this music track called, and what library does it originate from?
James and Aster (now long defunct)
Somebody said The Orchard is keeping rights of this melody.
God i wish I could have been in my 20s then instead of 5 years old. Is there any way to make time travel possible? Is there?
Nothing on TV, just look at grid until something interesting came on. 1991 Prime Time Wrestling
bro I dunno why but I get flashbacks to Yoohoo And Friends (2012, not the 2009 Korean version) for some reason
send help please
Hackerman's song♥
I'm guessing this was the version run on an Amiga.

+GeicoFoolz Productions yep i did
The golden era
The color bars were the best, I hated the all blue look in the mid to late 90s
How often did this channel fail?
Each day I assume.
It was Semi-Frequent, according to Ben Minnotte/OddityArchive.
Depended on how the Amigas running them at the cable headends felt that day.
This channel failed so many times, hard to imagine it lasted all the way up to the 2000's, but I'm pretty sure they upgraded their software by then so it wasn't always failing like it used to.
Thanks To The Orchard & EMI Was Better Music For Jazz In The 90s!
I w8sh these schemes would come b%.ack, but with full ,ivies on the top 50% and the graphics shown here on the bottom 50
What?????
