HBO Sign-Off 1981

Goodnight

[@royalsfan]

IIRC, this sign-off animation debuted in late '75/early '76 but was used for a good while. Kudos to the handful of people that had HBO before the mid-80s *and* are still among us.

This is probably the most high quality copy of this I have ever seen. This must have been recorded on high-speed Beta.

HBO was 12 noon until 12 am until September 1981 when it was 24 hours on weekends and they went 24 hours 7 days a week on December 24th 1981.

HBO Started 24 Hours 7 Days A Week On Christmas Eve 1981 Before Chuck Woolery s Next To The Last Episode Of Wheel Of Fortune On NBC Daytime

Do you remember the video they showed BEFORE they signed on? I seem to remember one that felt like you're riding a bike through what looked like Central Park. It had a count-down clock that showed how much time was left before the sign on. Could you post that one, if you can find it?

It's the ID saying "24 hours on weekends" and if this was 1981, it was to signal this was a weekday/during the week video.

[@ccateni28]

@@JasonDelarosa2000 but not anything from the video or sign off itself, making it misleading.
