Stephen King January 1992 library TV ad "Check it out - we might just run into each other!"

Описание: "Check it out - you never know who you'll meet at your local library," according to author Stephen King in this public service ad that aired on TV on the east coast, in Maine and New England, circa January 1992. The BetaGems channel also has "1997 Stephen King Library - Dark Tower IV: Wizard & Glass TV commercial," "1995 Stephen King Library book club TV commercial," "1989 Crown Books TV ad Books cost too much!" and "1989 KPBS San Diego Adult Literacy Campaign TV commercial."

BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded from 1983 into the 1990s. Most feature live music performances broadcast on television in San Diego CA, though there are also rarely seen commercials, comedy clips, old TV news segments, made-for-TV movies and documentaries, religious programming, variety shows, talk show interviews, and other material that doesn't seem to be anywhere else on Youtube or online. Most of the tapes were recorded on a Sony SL-HFT7 Super Beta Theater Hi-Fi Stereo - the same model was refurbished and is being used for these digital transfers and uploads.

In rare occasions where a BetaGems clip does appear elsewhere, we're only uploading if our own beta master is better quality or contains material not seen previously. Much footage comes from public television and public access broadcasts that the taper, who worked for a local cable TV production company in the 1980s, monitored nightly for several years. Some of the programming is strictly regional, mostly from the San Diego area.
