‘Bread Time Stories’, WRGB Schenectady NY
Although WRGB was NBC Television’s first affiliate, they always used GE broadcast equipment. Why? Because the were owned by GE and if you remember, RCA was born out of GE. In the photo is a shot of a GE PC25 color camera…GE’s second color model which followed the PC15. It’s as big as an RCA TK41 color camera, but weighs “only” about 215 pounds instead of over 300 for the TK41. Above is a short WRGB news retrospective on the 50s era local kids show they did for many years and shows what look like GE PE11 black and white cameras in the studio. The station serves the Schenectady/Albany/Troy area.
In the video, at 1:50, the little girl munching on a cookie behind the talent was my sister Mary, who was lucky enough to have been on the Freddy Freihofer show.
