1978 Cablevision sign-off and Cable Chuckles from Jericho NY

About

This was taped in 1978 from a cable system near, but not in New York City- its address is given as Jericho. (I'm in CA and not familiar with the area, so please forgive me.) The channel is ID'd as "Family Channel 10" and available only in that area. It showed a variety of recent and older movies and some local programming- this in particular was shown after "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", which wasn't widely shown on cable and not available commercially on home video until 1990. The movie was uncut with no commercials, but did have an announcer yakking over the end credits about what was coming on later.

After programming ends, they go to a primitive computer-generated display called "Cable Chuckles" that shows jokes that local kids mailed in, and shows their names and addresses onscreen! Don't know if they're still at these addresses, but please don't harrass them. If you know them, tell them to look here and post though! It also shows the lunch menus for nearby schools. Reuploaded from eyeh8cbs (now The Media Hoarder).
