RCA TK60s In Action…WRVA, Richmond Virginia 1965

This kids show with WRVA cameraman “Sailor Bob” Griggs as host, was built around Popeye cartoons and ran locally from 1959 till 1969. Thanks to Bob’s son, Tom Griggs for sharing this. I think this was shot on film by one of the stations news cameramen.

    That was the first real camera I ever operated….old ABC cams donated to the college I went to. Whoever shot this film used a nice mount that allowed some smooth trucks here and there.
