1981 Star movie channel break

This was between movies- in New Orleans where this was recorded I'm told it came in with a rented microwave antenna and receiver, but in San Francisco it was scrambled on broadcast channel 26 and you had to rent a descrambler to watch it.

Here we get some text with national news and a scroll at the top listing upcoming movies. Audio is from an FM station, WBYU (I hated these 'beautiful music' stations as they were called then, but now that they're extinct I miss them!)

At 17:18 you can hear the beginning of the station's hourly news with Dan Brown, then the next movie starts with a neat intro at 18:36 .

The song played before the news was recently marked as copyrighted- the entire video was muted until I told YouTube they could 'remove' the song instead- the audio in that part has now been replaced with the sound from the beginning of the clip! Glad the copyright holders of "Rainy Days and Mondays" have no issue with this!
