What was syncopation station?
So i'm totally bored and I was looking at youtube videos. I found an old TCM spot for syncopation station? What was that? How long did it last? and did you like that particular block on TCM?

Right--that was an intro for musical movies once shown in a regular time slot on TCM.
I used to seethe whenever I saw that otherwise very well-constructed and clever montage of film clips, because there is a shot of Ginger dancing alone that is actually from a duet she does with Fred ("Bouncin' the Blues" from The Barkleys of Broadway. No doubt TCM was afraid of Astaire's widow and simply deleted any images of him from a promo meant to celebrate great Hollywood musicals.
