Spectrum - Movie Ending & Intermission Opening (1983?)

Views: 1363

Finally - some Spectrum footage! (Sorry, OnTV fans...) Here's the ending of the film "Diner" followed by a Spectrum ID and Intermission animation with the beginning of "Cleveland Smith Bounty Hunter"

Not sure when this aired exactly, but the movie Diner came out in March of 1982, so I would imagine that this wouldn't get to Spectrum until 1983, no?

Here is a clip of some footage from ON TV Subscription Television, which was an early cable TV option in Chicago. (not sure if other cities had it)

I think this clip dates to March 1983, since Quest for Fire was not released in the US until 1982, so I don't think cable would have gotten it until the next year.
