Arg! This thread isn't about local television! It's about the music they played during test patterns!

And for your information, local kiddie shows ruled! Show me a national network with the guts to show a Bosko cartoon!

Sorry ZC. I am with the other guy in regarding it as localized to what the station had. Being in military towns we were as likely to hear Souza marches as anything. When The Star Spangled Banner came on; time for monsters.

It’s all relative though.

It wasn’t national networks airing test patterns. It was the local channels.

And the local tv programs used their own bumper music too.

In Cleveland, for example, they used instrumental songs by Jimmy McGriff. He had a hit with “I’ve Got A Woman”. It was played as movie program bumper music for decades in Cleveland.

And he died this week:
