After Jerry died it was right at the time
00:00:05.571 --> 00:00:08.341
within a week or two of when Z Channel
00:00:08.341 --> 00:00:11.833
started broadcasting sports
00:00:13.346 --> 00:00:19.986
and I guess you could say Z Channel died when Jerry died
00:00:19.986 --> 00:00:23.256
Z Channel died when sports came on
00:00:23.256 --> 00:00:26.159
Well there was a year between Jerry's death
00:00:26.159 --> 00:00:28.628
and the end of Z Channel
00:00:28.628 --> 00:00:32.799
So while those events were certainly clearly linked
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:34.233
in people's minds
00:00:34.233 --> 00:00:36.836
they weren't directly linked perhaps
00:00:36.836 --> 00:00:40.573
We were showing The Silence by Ingmar Berman
00:00:40.573 --> 00:00:42.675
The end a very climactic scene
00:00:42.675 --> 00:00:46.212
It's all about the quest for God
00:00:46.212 --> 00:00:49.849
Is there God or is there just silence
00:00:49.849 --> 00:00:54.479
And here we reach you know the climax of the movie
00:00:55.855 --> 00:00:57.957
Then comes on at the bottom of the frame
00:00:57.957 --> 00:01:01.427
a yellow Chyron that says Don't miss the Dodgers game
00:01:01.427 --> 00:01:04.794
coming up next at 7 00 on Z Channel
00:01:06.999 --> 00:01:07.999
Well
00:01:30.623 --> 00:01:32.158
