Remember The Overmyer/United Network?

  • October 22, 2013

The Overmyer—later United—Network remains one of television’s most fascinating near‑misses. The photo shared by Maureen Carney captures comedian Bill Dana, famous for his José Jiménez character, hosting the network’s flagship program The Las Vegas Show. Beginning May 1, 1967, the two‑hour late‑night broadcast originated from the Hotel Hacienda and aired on 106 stations across the […]

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.”

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.
