Great video! It is nice to see this some Quads running (I love the sound of starting up).
I worked for RBS TV Network in Brazil, from 1979 to 1991, we had RCA Quad machines
like TR60, TR600 and even TCR-100 Quad automated advertisement exhibition machine.
See on my YouTube page, AVID 1 demonstration (by Bill Warner), and a tour of RBS TV and Atlantida FM (radio station in the same building). It is titled "Passeio pela RBS TV".
My best regards for all.

yes SC ETV got WRET TV 49 in Spartanburg,SC. they was honor to Richard E Tukey. I can't remember his name. WRET TV 49 studio locate USC Upstate in Sprtanburg,SC . WRET TV 49 Transmitter Tower locate Lake Johnson in Spartanburg,SC

All the VTRs at WRET at the time were Ampex machines, yes.
-
The 3 VTRs side-by-side were all VR-1200s.
-
Was that oipen-reel quad machine you were operating an Ampex VR-1100 or 1200? Just curious. Was all your videotape equipment Ampex?

Great clip. Did WRET produce any local news?

Not when I worked there. But after I left, WRET began offering a quite respectable local newscast

I remember WRET TV 36 Charlotte,NC was Independent tv station. Ted Turner owned WRET TV 36 Charlotte. Telecable of Spartanburg SC (Cable TV ) carried WRET TV 36 on cable tv 9 until 1978. they dropped WRET TV 36 . because WRET TV 36 was switch from Indpendent to NBC summer of 1978. WRET named Robert E Turner Ted Turner's dad name. WRET TV changed to WPCQ TV in 1980. because South Carolina ETV got WRET TV 49 Spartanburg SC in 1981.

That's pretty close but actually, Turner sold the station to Westinghouse not long after it had become an NBC affiliate. It was Westinghouse that changed the calls to WPCQ. After that, the WRET call became available and I guess SCETV snagged it.
