Here’s audio from a Friday, June 23rd, 1972 commercial break aired on CBS affiliate KMGH-TV (Channel 7) in Denver, Colorado:
If we’re being very technical, this commercial break actually aired on Saturday, June 24th, 1972 during the station’s broadcast of the 1958 movie Ashes and Diamonds, which started at 3:25AM MT. At the time, KMGH-TV aired two movies (Channel 7’s All Night Movies) back-to-back on Friday nights following The CBS Late Movie, which generally began at 12:45AM MT.
Despite airing on Saturday, the movies were included in Friday’s TV listings in newspapers.
Here’s a transcript:
