Where it all started…

A look back in time… from word of mouth and town meetings,

to newspapers, and than to radio…

radio, a new medium that instantly reported news,  

and delivered live entertainment right to your living room.

When Television was getting started.

It was the embodiment of then modern technology.

Speech, sound, and pictures… instantly… right in your home.

A marvel of it’s time… strange and odd to look at now. 

First only in black & white, and later a giant leap into color.

So here’s a look back into history.

   I remember this… it’s what was broadcast for several minutes

before the daily broadcast actually began.

( Tv only broadcast morning to late evening )

The luxury version…

Tv, radio, and record player… all in one unit.

Families gathered around the Television for the evenings entertainment.

Just like they had gathered about the family radio for years before.

A new age had begun that would change things forever.

and just look where we are at today!

At one time we were delighted to just see moving pictures in color

and happy to get 3-4 channels, even if 2 were snowy.

yes… just look where we are today.
