Museum Of Broadcast Technology: Tape Room 2

Posted on October 3, 2012April 28, 2021


Museum Of Broadcast Technology: Tape Room 2

In this video, we see the attempt to playback a Boston kids show tape from the ’60s. Once the tape plays, check out the action on the show…it’s great. Again, this shows my good friends Paul Beck, Jay Ballard and Mark Berman in room full of restored quad machines.

1952: TV Goes to the Conventions

  • May 1, 2016

Popular Mechanics shows in detail how one of the 1952 political conventions would be televised from Chicago. These were major broadcast events, and the amount of equipment and people brought in is just amazing.

The men and women who shaped American television —producers, directors, engineers, studio crews, and the families of industry legends shared their stories, photos, documents, and memories with me. Many told me the same thing, even the historians for the networks:

“You’re preserving the only institutional knowledge we have left.”

Eyes Of A Generation has always been a collection of history, but now — it has, by default, become a home for the institutional memory of ABC, NBC, and CBS.

In the same way networks kept the videotapes tapes but erased the talent, skill, craftsmanship and even revenue those recorded shows represented…they have lost their histories too!

This is television’s story — created by the people who shaped it and safeguarded here, for those who come after.
