The "wrapping" of Television episodes consisting of a "leader" that introduces the title and theme and principal actors, and a "trailer" that presents the closing theme, credits and copyrights. Typically a TV episode will commence with a plot segment that presents some sort of tension leading to a crescendo, that is followed by the "leader".
Video junkies who want to watch multiple episodes of a series without having to listen to the theme again in each episode have to edit the episodes to remove the cigarbanding. To do this is to "decigarband" the content.
