About

This tape is an unedited off-air recording of programming interstitials and promotional breaks from HBO, captured in April and May 1991. The date is established by multiple premiere announcements. Impulse premieres Saturday April 13th on HBO. Tales from the Darkside: The Movie premieres Sunday April 14th. An HBO Original Movie Film Fest runs throughout April, presenting a different HBO original film each day of the month. Fever premieres Saturday May 11th. Joe vs. the Volcano with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan is promoted as an upcoming HBO exclusive premiere on a Saturday blockbuster night, paired with a Jimmy Tingle One Night Stand comedy special.

A segment of HBO Entertainment News hosted by Nina Griscom covers the Welcome Home Heroes with Whitney Houston concert, which aired live on HBO March 31st at the Norfolk Naval Air Station in Virginia before returning Gulf War troops and their families. Houston had boarded the USS Saratoga two days prior as it returned to its home port of Jacksonville, Florida, visiting wounded troops in the ship's hospital. The special is noted as having beaten all other network competition in HBO homes and ranked among the most watched concert events in HBO history.

Programming promoted across the tape includes Kids in the Hall (every Friday at midnight), One Man's War starring Anthony Hopkins, Rocky on Sunday nights, Al Pacino in And Justice For All on Monday, and Jimmy Tingle's One Night Stand debut. HBO's four-day weekend programming format — Double Feature Friday, blockbuster Saturday, Sunday best, and Monday main event — is promoted throughout.
