I guess if it's on the web it's true? Someone on the web said they had dinner with Elvis yesterday!

This video came direct from the CBS evening news and was recorded by a very poor vhs recorder. Nothing was edited or added to this video.

Did NBC do a story on you as well? Vanderbilt University has a television news archive (w/ Abc, Cbs, & Nbc clips going back to '68). I was watching old news clips on there (a few months back)about cable tv. I swear that you were on there too. I remember seeing the multiple tvs and the story about the satellites. It won't let me post the web address, but if you google "Vanderbilt University television news archive," you'll be able to see them.

That's nothing. When I was 5, there was only 25-26 channels to choose from on my dial in '82.

What I find really unusual about this video is that it features a clip of an ID for The Weather Channel (at 1:31), which didn't launch until 1982, while even Walter announces himself that the newscast is from 10/31/78. Strange.

However, it was around the late 70s when weatherman John Coleman pitched the idea of the channel to Landmark Communications (TWCs parent), so maybe the ID here might of been an early one, maybe as part of a promo reel for cable companies before TWC officially launched?
