Preview (WSMW-TV Channel 27:early 80's)

[kaddursal]

I found a couple of these ads for Preview that was an old subscrpition TV station for WSMW-TV Channel 27 in Worcester, Massachusetts. These were back in the early 80's. I remember seeing these. They were like in 1983 or 1984. This new version of Preview took place when Preview replaced Star TV (Star Subscrpition Television) on WQTV Channel 68 in Bostion. And Mark, please put these videos on your new website. These were back in the early 80's, and they're part of television history:

He is another Preview TV commercial from 1981 with actor Orson Wells in it. And Mark, put this commercial on your 80's commercial dowload page too. This is also a piece of 80's history:

Hey, do viewers in Massachusetts remember the scrambled mode for Preview on WSMW-TV Channel 27? How about when you would see the picture being clear and while it's in negative? It also showed that vertical line with those little white squares on it. Well take a look:
