Not really a network, but it was fun to watch


Does anyone remember the preview channel? It was fun to have on when there wasn't anything else on to watch. They show trailers and previews of movies and later on in the late 1990s they did little bit more until they went defunct. It was great to have on for background noise.

You mean that scrolling one where if you missed a certain channel, you would have to wait three minutes for it to come back around again?

Yeah that it.

I remember being a child in the nineties using that for previews. I also remember taking the television guide and going to the back and looking for what films to watch for the week, setting my alarm clock and waking up to watch all of those late night thrillers and science fiction classics.

Oh, God...I just remembered that I used to get a new TV Guide every week, and use different color highlighters to mark what I wanted/had to watch or record on my VCR. I had almost forgotten the pre-EPG era...
