This appears to be a timer recording of the late movie that started 11 minutes too early, luckily it was kept afterwards.
The end of the Sergeant's flea collar commercial makes me kind of sad, since that cat is most likely no longer living (I've heard SOME cats can live to age 30 or so, but none that I've ever known.) Note that the audio is silent, then a bit loud then levels out in the first second- I've noticed this on a few Beta timer recordings from this era. Then we have the end credits of a movie-length "Name of the Game" episode on Channel 2 Showcase with their bumper- production music used on this is called "Race With The Devil" by Chris Gunning and someone else has the complete track uploaded here, it's pretty killer.
Then a priceless mail-order album commercial for a disco compilation album called Saturday Night Discomania-,note the disclaimer at the end that this was not affiliated with the movie Saturday Night Fever or Paramount Pictures!
Then we have the Channel 2 News Early Morning Report- since I wasn't allowed to watch TV this late at night, this was the first time I've seen something like this- a slide shown for several minutes while the announcer (Dave Campbell) does the whole report radio-style. Apparently this was common until the early 80s.
The report breaks for an early Sony Betamax commercial, though this was already pretty old when it aired. (Note the outboard mechanical clock!) Then a Crazy Eddie spot followed by the weather, again done with just a slide on the screen with voiceover, then the classic "The Late Show" movie intro.
The commercials during this airing were unusually good, so I'll be uploading all of them!
