This may be a real stickler.  I am a devotee of late night movies from the 30s
and 40s.  There is a local station in Baltimore whose film repertoire
consists exclusively of old RKO films.  The question is this: virtually every
one of these films lacks its old RKO sign-on, it has been replaced instead with
a credit for Movietime.  The first image on the credits is overwritten with
the words C & C Television Presents.  Does anybody out there have any idea
what C & C Movietime is, how it got a hold of all of just about all of RKO's
library of films, and why their copies of Technicolor and Trucolor prints are
invariably in black and white?
