Sunday Matinee #1…GREAT WEST COAST TV HISTORY VIDEO

In this KTLA 40th Anniversary presentation, there are so many firsts, they are nearly impossible to list, but Bob Hope, Steve Alan, Dinah Shore, Betty White, and many others do a remarkable job of narrating this 2 hour show. Filled with rare film and kinescopes, this is the story of how television developed on the west coast, and includes not just KTLA’s history, but other early stations there too. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee

    Betty White was a senior in high school when she participated in an experimental television broadcast in Los Angeles in 1939. I met her in 2004. I had no idea what to say.
