Coming attractions promos and nightly sign-off of ONTV subscription movie programming-via ONTV O&O KBSC (now Telemundo O&O KVEA) Los Angeles-from September 1980.
ONTV was a scrambled, over-the-air subscription movie service that ran on certain independent stations in larger markets where cable TV was not yet widely available. In Los Angeles, ONTV aired part-time on KBSC, with the remainder of the day's schedule brokered to a Spanish-language programmer and running unscrambled. You can see the moment when the scrambler is shut off to allow viewing without a set-top box, immediately after the announcer says "check your program guide for our schedule."
In 1985, ONTV owner Oak Industries sold KBSC to NetSpan, which would become Telemundo in 1987. Almost immediately after taking control of the station, NetSpan dropped ONTV programming and converted the station to 24-hour Spanish-language programming. Today, channel 52 is Telemundo O&O KVEA, operated alongside NBC's LA O&O, KNBC.
It's also worth noting that prior to ONTV, KBSC was part of the Kaiser Broadcasting chain of independent TV stations, along with KBHK (KBCW) San Francisco, WFLD Chicago, and WKBD Detroit, among others. Kaiser exited the broadcasting business in 1976, selling their stations to Field Communications, with the exception of KBSC. Because Los Angeles already had three major independent stations in the VHF band, KBSC, as a relatively late-coming UHF outlet, was not well-rated, lacked growth potential, and instead went to Oak Industries to be used as ONTV's flagship station.

I don't recall KBSC going to Spanish till much later--at least the mid-1990s.

It became a Spanish station in 1985.

Ahhhhh I thought the “Noticias” music sounded familiar... its a loop of the intro of _March of the Cue Balls_ by Henry Mancini

KBSC-TV was still an English-speaking station at this time and had introduced a part-time Spanish broadcast schedule the before in 1979. It did not become an all-Spanish station until November of 1985, when the Telemundo("TeleWorld" in Spanish) network was founded that year, not 1987 as indicated here.

Spanish programming had been expanded earlier in 1980 to take over the timeslots previously reserved for English-language religious programming. At the time this was recorded, ONTV was running scrambled from 6PM-6AM during the week and from 12PM-6AM on weekends, with unscrambled Spanish-language programming filling the rest of the schedule. In 1985, when the station was purchased, the network run by the new owners was still going by NetSpan. The Telemundo brand didn't come along until 1987, when KBSC part-owner Reliance Group bought WSCV Miami and WKAQ Puerto Rico, which included the Telemundo branding.

It's nice to see a clip from channel 52 during the dawn of the 80s. Sadly, there is hardly any footage from KMEX (SIN/Univision) 34 and KVEA (Telemundo) during the mid-late 80s and early 90s. I still yearn to see classic shows and commercials on youtube depending on the video collection and what can be posted.

If the recording lasted a little longer, we would have gotten a religious segment, and then the sign-off.

KBSC was a 24-hour operation at the time (since 1978.) On this recording, the station was transitioning into its Spanish-language schedule, which ran from 6AM-6PM. ONTV filled the rest of the day.

Are you sure? RU-vid has quite a few sign offs of KBSC from this era, some of which are even done in Spanish.
