I remember these things, they'd have random movie trivia, like "Did You Know? Clark Gable played X character in Y movie," with the occasional ad. Seems less common these days. Music Choice channels on TV have similar facts pop up.
I don't know about a PSA, but there were all sorts of animations with pins and balls that played depending on how players did and what they accomplished (strike, turkey, etc.). I also remember one where a bowling pin was a rancher, and the bowling balls were cows, and the pin had this creepy smile... but that last one might not have been Brunswick Zone.
The pilot for the show, The Haunted Mask, was presented as a TV movie, I believe, and there are some movie guide books, like VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever, that list it as a "movie." So it might be that.

These programs were apparently made by someone named Sanik a long time ago, and there are also apparently no copies in existence anywhere. You can find references to them all over sites like Sonic Retro, and it was originally hosted here and here (both dead). He also had the specs for the formats here and here (also both dead). Anyone got any ideas?

This is the original film of the fireplace loop with Christmas music playing to it. It was filmed in 1966 and played every year on New York's WPIX until 1989. However, the original loop that was filmed in 1966 was last broadcast 1969 because the film was worn out. It was re-filmed in 1970, and that's the version that played for the rest of the reruns.
Well, in 2016, while searching through old WPIX film collections for old footage of Donald Trump, Rolando Pujol discovered the original 1966 version on 16mm film. It was restored and broadcast that Christmas Eve for one hour, followed by Midnight Mass at St. Ptrick's Cathedral, then again on Christmas day, followed by a four hour presentation of the 1970 version. Someone on Myspleen said they'd record and upload both versions of the log, but that still hasn't happened. Anyone possibly have this? I'm not in New York, otherwise I would have done it myself.
UPDATE: It will also be broadcast this year, plus streaming live on PIX11.com and Facebook Live, Christmas Eve from 6 to 7 pm, and clips will be available for repeat viewing via PIX11's channel on Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV Stick andAndroid TV. If anyone can record from these, that's good too.

There used to be a way to do this using Fiddler, but iTunes has been updated (read: downgraded) so that apps are totally excluded and the App Store is totally inaccessible from a personal computer. Is there any way to do this?
Please help. This is lost media, isn't it?

This isn't even the oldest piece of lost media, but just to show you how far we can go back, we already have an article for Beowulf. That's only partially lost, though.
I don't know about a marathon, but I specifically remember puppet Dracula promos airing to promote Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure: The Movie. I think I used to have recordings of them from a Billy & Mandy torrent, but those have been lost in hard drive crashes, sadly.
The one I'm thinking of has the announcer saying "Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure: The Movie" over and over again, with Dracula finally yelling "Dracula heard you the first time!"

A while back, while looking through old Nickelodeon stuff, I remembered an interstitial short I saw a lot during my early childhood (I feel like they ran it for several years) about a girl whose outfit gets ruined at the school cafeteria, and the whole thing is beat poetry. There's a thread on Reddit's Tip of my Tongue, but it was never solved.
Surely someone else at least remembers this?

I went through Wikipedia's TNT original films category and not one was animated. Is it possible that this was a foreign film that was making its US debut on TNT? And you mentioned it seemed Arabian, is it possible it's an adaptation of one of the One Thousand and One Nights stories? Because if it is, that might make finding it a lot easier.

I've heard of this before. However, the most I've ever seen is the video's cover art, unlike the fire brigade one, which has been circulating for a while.
