Recorded following "Boatniks."

Sorry, DTV "intermission clips only," because the music videos contain full songs.

The songs for the music videos in the DTV broadcast were:

Ringo Starr - Oh My My
Beach Boys - California Girls
Mamas and Papas - Dedicated to the One I Love
Chris Kenner - I Like It Like That

Back when TV stations had bedtimes.

Back when it really WAS "The Disney Channel" , as opposed to the mess it is now (or as call it when I make comments in these situations, "The Dismal Channel"; an understatement).

Yes, this "Good Night" message sometimes came up on nights they didn't show their promo feed sequence for cable operators to use.

"THE DISNEY CHANNEL GOOD NIGHT PROGRAMMING WILL RESUME AT 6AM EDT." "The Disney Channel wishes you a wonderful tomorrow. And remember, you always have a place to, your family place, The Disney Channel. And now, good night."

VideoRewind Thank you so very much for posting this. It's always cool to see rare treasures like these pop up again. Especially in the form of sign-ons or sign-offs which are now practically extinct from television now. I also remember TDC being a premium pay channel on cable for many years since it's launch. When did it become available on a basic cable package like it is now? Thanks again.

DTV's music heard during the intro/outro and intermission sequences were from the stock library of "Network Music". I don't know the particular track titles, but the tunes were used quite a lot in the 80's for all sorts of local advertisements I used to hear on radio and TV.

Movie at the start was "The Boatniks" (1970). Somewhere, I have an old VHS tape my parents recorded off Disney Channel back then. May even have been this broadcast.

7:16 Saw that Mickey themed intermission a long time ago and it was haunting. Must have been because of the quick edits.
