@mainepublic.org Hello and Merry Christmas!
I have a question and image to include with it, hoping anyone in the state might have any answers.
I found this test pattern at the tail end of a videotape that had other stuff on it, including some WVII snippets. Was this pattern of bars ever used?

Tried an AI cleanup on a very short video. I don't know if I could do anything better in any scenario...
From March 24, 1985, it starts with a Let's Make a Deal bumper promo then quickly cuts to a card of the WVII Bangor station ID... This aired at 11 pm ET in Bangor, Maine...

@archive.org @internetarchiveca.bsky.social I have an idea if anyone has yet to do it: as I live in Newfoundland, someone should dig up some old Newfoundland Heralds from my younger years (1980s) and scan them and share them. It was our version of “TV Guide” and unique to our part of North America.

A #Bluesky Exclusive: On Pass the Buck, we have a tricky memory game, from June 21, 1978, near the end of the series. Enjoy! Also note the money counting graphic (that usually tells us how much it sits at) used in-game is broken.

@rewindium.bsky.social It's too bad this is all I got for oldest off-air NTV anything on my end (one good frame). They carried CTV's NHL broadcasts in the mid '80s.
