about 1990, and I remember the OOT being showed on Scifi channel on Presidents Weekend

Here's a blurb from the July 17, 1993 airing which was hosted by Carrie Fisher:

Do you remember if Sci-Fi aired it multiple years? 

 

 I do remember they would show marathons sort of like Spike TV does now, mostly over Holiday Weekends.   I do remember watching a SW marathon sometime in the mid-90's on Christmas Weekend, it was still the originals, so it had to be before 1997.
