HBO Break/Sign Off/Tulsa Cable Programming Scroll (Early A.M. Mon. 7/20/1981)

Yeah, I know this sign-off is already on KZbin about 1,000,000,000 over. Enjoy this one for the slightly premature end of the sign-off (must've been the end of somebody's shift) and the (premium channels only) programming scroll from our friends at Tulsa Cable. And, yes, those Muzak renditions of Leo Sayer's "When I Need You" and Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better" are absolutely glorious--change my mind.
This aired in the overnight hours of Sunday, July 19 going into Monday, July 20, 1981.
ALL COPYRIGHTS ACKNOWLEDGED (no matter how warbly)

The HBO schedule was for July 20, 1981, per this clipping (www.newspapers.com/clip/80966177/ ); the times displayed on-screen are for the Central Time Zone. The album the rendition of "When I Need You" is from, Franck Pourcel's 1977 record _Chanson D'Amour ,_ was never released in the United States, so someone at Tulsa Cable must have imported it from another country.

I wonder if there's any broadcast rights clearing issues for something that wasn't released in the US, or more likely the case if no one gave a damn and they just broadcast it anyway.

[@The4MusketeersYT]

the music was taken from a Seeburg disc from earlier in 1980

[@WonderingNickSlots]

I remember when Rosa at the cable company typed that all on live tv once. The looped it.

[@jamesborlan2850]

I love the hbo sign off bumper from the late 70s it’s really charming

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

It is. It makes me want to close my eyes sometimes. It'll be there for me tomorrow!

[@christopherbubb2890]

Ah, Dr. Snuggles... I remember seeing that on TVO. The Japanese studio that worked on that show, Topcraft, would later become Studio Ghibli.

[@TheCHR83]

Quite a fascinating Muzak selection they got.

[@williamwilliam9993]

They also including tracks from waldo de los rios (spain)

[@The4MusketeersYT]

3:55 is where the muzak starts

[@robmclean4352]

0:08 "It's time to bring the 50s back home...with a movie that's literally set in 1962!"

[@ArchiveAnnex]

Seems like there was this belief in the 70's and 80's that the 60's didn't "truly" start until after the JFK assassination.

[@sw2442]

I believe the version of Nobody Does It Better that starts at 8:41, is by Floyd Cramer off his 1978 RCA album Looking For Mr. Goodbar. The time for the track is 3:05, and that's the same length this version is. I tried looking for it on some streaming sites and here on YT to no avail, but I'm pretty this is it. It sounds like his piano playing also. Love the show.

[@AdrianToonsStudios]

Haha very funny

[@The4MusketeersYT]

would you happen to have the rest of this sign off program? i have most of the tracks following nobody does it better, but the 24th one keeps cutting out, and i want to know what its supposed to sound like

[@ArchiveAnnex]

Everything that was intact is in this posting.

[@The4MusketeersYT]

@@ArchiveAnnex oh ok, thanks for informing me… thats a bit of a shame that its so short.

[@Musicradio77Network]

3:06 is the GoAnimate Movie Channel sign-off where Eric would say “That’s all the time we have on the GoAnimate Movie Channel. Join us tomorrow for more. My work is done. Good night!

[@alejandrokudo5463]

Was this on the same channel?

[@timharper73]

Do you remember what movie had finished airing prior to the sign-off sequence?

[@ArchiveAnnex]

Not offhand.

[@MovieVideo101]

If you don't know what film is ending. Its actually High Plains Drifter
