Thanks for uploading this. While I might not watch a lot of TV (or any nowadays), I'm still very fascinated with how it all works; at least the technical side of things.
I used to love to watch the raw feeds on our CBand...we used to get the nightly inserts for local news, and then usually 15-20 minutes before they fed the news, you would get these types of feeds...they would sometimes have the newscaster send audio/video promos for stations during this time also...
I used to have one of those huge C-BAND Sat Dishes. There was a channel on there that NBC used to feed video to its affiliates. Right before nightly news would air I could seem them prepare and testing graphics etc.
@SanAntonioNews78 You were watching the NBC News Channel. Fed from Charlotte NC. It was the way the local affiliates downloaded stories from other NBC affiliates around the country .
Jeez, politically biased reporting back in '96 even.

That was cool...It reminds me of when my local CBS station looked like it was broadcasting it's raw feed instead of it's normal feed on accident.

Oh okay, forget my last comment on this video then. It was just a test/run-through.
