Television’s Heartland

This is one of those things you post when you're a renaissance man like yours truly.

As it did elsewhere, television developed quickly in Nebraska during the postwar years. There is a segment is from NebraskaStudies.org, of a program entitled "Changing Channels" produced in 1992. But for all the progress in the Cornhusker State, the true epicenter of the new medium in the Nation's midsection was Cincinnati, where much of the Nation's early network programming was actually produced. More of this story can be found at a site entitled "Cincinnati Local Kid Programs."

In addition, last Saturday's edition of The Cincinnati Enquirer did a piece entitled "WLWT blazed a few trails in its 60 years." (PHOTO: "WLWT-TV uses a rooftop camera for Cincinnati Reds’ telecasts from Crosley Field in the 1950s. The station, which broadcast its first Reds game in 1947, was the Reds TV flagship through 1995." Image from The Cincinnati Enquirer. Used without permission or shame.)
