HBO VHS 📼 and LaserDisc Closing: The Nighttime Segment

One of the most common things Home Video Distributors did with movie and television releases in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s was adding movie trailers, intros, or a compilation preview promoting other VHS or (in earlier years) Betamax tapes they sold. This was because a VHS tape and/or a Betamax tape in SP mode had room for two hours of material; since most movies clocked in at around 90 minutes, and four half-hour or two one-hour TV episodes (minus commercials) last about the same amount of time, the tapes had leftover space.
As the 1980s progressed, trailers and promos began to appear at the beginnings of tapes; commercials for products not directly related to the film or show (i.e. soda) began to appear as well — often if there was some sort of tie-in with the movie or show on the tape. Throughout the 1990s, plugs for products related to the tape's contents (such as soundtracks or books) also began to appear, and in some cases (mostly Disney's) promos for TV shows running on the label's sister broadcast networks or produced by the television wing of the studio (including Recycled: The Series) would appear too. Music videos were also a common sight, typically for a song on the film's soundtrack.
