1975-1980
ID: On a black background, we see "COMING UP NEXT" scroll up. Underneath it is a line, the movie's title in blue, and a very brief description of the movie. The airing time then cuts in.

Variants:


 * The font was later changed.
 * Towards the end of its life, the time of airing disappeared.

FX/SFX: The scrolling of the ID.

Music/Sounds: A somewhat funky tune, with a male voiceover describing the movie that was about to air.

Availability: Long extinct.

1980-1983
ID: A neon-esque sign with "NEXT ON" written is against three gray lines. It positions itself to the top as it shines. Below, the movie title and some of its actors fade in, with the text in a light blue-ish color. They disappear a few seconds later, and a similar sign, this time with "HBO" written on it positions itself right below the "NEXT ON" sign. All of this is against a black background.

Variants: TBA

FX/SFX: The shining text and the sign movements.

Music/Sounds: A game-show like fanfare plays as an announcer (male or female) gives a brief description of the forthcoming movie, then ending it off with "[NAME OF MOVIE], next (on HBO)!"

Availability: See previous bumper.

Legacy: While it comes in rather suddenly, it's a well-remembered bumper amongst HBO viewers of the era.
