Also, you could hear the projector clacking away while the muddy sound came through, as though a mic had been placed by the projector speaker. (That was a standard feature of that station). Does anyone remember "Science Fiction Theater"? that show , in it's first season, had the introduction (by Truman Bradley) and the closing in black-and-white, while the main story was presented in color. In the second season, the show was completely black-and-white.

I remember Science Fiction Theatre.
We got syndicated prints (like December Bride and Our Miss Brooks) that were all put together wrong fairly often. Some TV stations could care less how they handled the films when they returned them to the distributor.
I vividly remember a Dick Van Dyke show that had a section spliced in upside down, and backwards sound. It never happened again, either.
