Here is a slightly edited video taken from the end of a Hollywood's Finest movie ("The Lost Weekend") that aired in late March, 1985 on WNEW, channel 5 serving the New York City tri-state area.
It begins with the end of the movie, then we see a bit of a MetroMedia countdown to dead air. The next program is teased, listed only as "CME SAT." It's a paid program, introduced as: "Surgsat, Volume 1:46, Options in the Management of Breast Cancer, Part 2." An announcer reads a sponsor disclaimer. The Weck Automatic Hemoclip gun is promoted (warning: gore!), then we learn of "The Astra Commitment" (1984), and finally DuPont Drugs. Some dry instruction follows (warning: nudity!), but it is cut off as the VHS tape recording ran out.
And NO, other YouTubers, you may NOT hijack this video for your own channels--I'd prefer the views stay right here, thanks!
