I had no idea that the first festival of that sort was first brought to life in San Francisco. San Fran is a wonderful city. I often drive from my work at mold removal Kansas City to there to different types of festivals on the weekends.

The licensing agreements we struck with all of our copyright holders specified that we are legally obliged to add these ‘bugs’, otherwise we couldn’t release any clips to the public.The current alternative would be not viewing the clips at all. The Bay Area TV Archive raises all the necessary funding and does all the digital restoration work in order that this unique local heritage can be made available online. We will continue to try and improve our services.

Shame on this "archive" for ruining the footage with constant logo bugs on the picture! Channel 5 didn't even have a website in 1970!
