Maybe the wrong place to ask--but WHERE did the stations get their 'promo music" from
Some here have been in the TV broadcasting fielod for a long time. So--I am not sure anyone can help0 me--but here goes.
I have LONG wanted to find out where the various networks (the three "C" ones in particular) got the "music" they USED to run--before they showed a movie. I am talking about the short instrumental pieces they would play--as the movie was announced--but BEFORE it actually began. This was during a station promo that came before a movie--titles like "the big show" or "Sunday afternoon movie" or " Late people movies" or such--then after this short interval--the actual movie would begin. This was in an era BEFORE all-night tv.
SOME of it was from standard instrumental pieces commercially available--but NOT NEARLY all of it.
ANYONE know what I am talking about? Some of the music I have LONG desired to acquire--IF it is available anywhere.
