I remember this promo from back in the day. Very well done! As everybody knows... All the big Hollywood movie premieres happen at the Tower Theater on Vernon Street in Roseville!🤣
Beautiful. I love seeing this master tape stuff- fully equipt with composite artifacts and dot crawl. The technological imperfections that we hoped to rid ourselves of in those days, I find so charming and comforting today.
The Woody Allen guy looks like it may be Phil Boroff, who made a living impersonating Woody. Boroff was actually a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Woody Allen , who said people might think Woody was endorsing the product in a print ad where it was really Phil.
If you pause the video at :10 seconds, you can see that the theater marquee says "TV 31 Film Festival". Was this shot and sold to other stations besides KTXL?
My best guess is that since KTXL's founder (Jack Matranga) had launched a new station in Denver (KDVR, Channel 31) a few years earlier, this promo was likely used at both stations. Maybe also at KPDX (Channel 49) in Portland, as he started that one in the early '80s as well.
This Music On The Promo Was Also Used On TV Gazeta, An Globo Affiliate Station From Espírito Santo In Brazil, During Their Launch In 1976.

Same. I don’t attempt to “clean” any of this stuff up - I present it as-is, to be faithful to the source material.

@@VPR2B You're right... The very first shot shows the marquee with "TV 49 Summer Film Festival" too (I'm viewing on a big monitor, lol).
@@mattkramer4132 Good eye. I was trying to make that out and it almost looks like “TV 43,” which would make no sense.
