@VintageTelevision Ah, I was wondering what make of CG they were using, I assumed it was one of Chyron's first models (wasn't the Videograph licensed & resold by Chyron as well?)
-
I wouldn't say this is random footage. It looks more like raw footage for a documentary of what goes into a newscast. All it needs is narration and some canned music.
-
It hasn't changed much now from how they did it then! awesome.
-
I didn't realize AB Dick made a CG. Our first CG looked like DOS text and only had one page . Still have it in storage.
-
@jaychrepta I bet that WBZ is probably a 'smoke-free' workplace, it seems to be happening everywhere.
-
I still wonder who's the guy running the TR-70 VTR in this video. And I also wonder if that's another TR-70 next to the machine that's being readied for use.

Thats cool!

Wow, talk about mis-matching cameras! An RCA TK-42 & TK 44A. Not a good idea!

Were they using key cards or slides? This is a great piece of history. Thanks for posting it.

@SalemNHmedia
35 millimeter slides, art cards and a Videograph (an early electronic character generator made by the A. B. Dick Company)

At 0:27 the frame shows the 4s set bkgrd, which was used for many years (well into the mid-70's..). When WBZ decided to finally stop using it (I don't recall what year that was), I do remember that they offered on-air to break it up and give away pieces to anyone who wanted to come down to get one. I don't think it was any type of auction, just a give-away. I wanted one, but couldn't get there.. At the same time spot, I wonder if that is anchor Steve Shott.. Looks like him to me..

Yes, that person is (the late) Steve Schatz.

Hey look at 3:16 and again at 5:12 and yet again at 5:19...early electronic graphics! (Electronic graphics were new in the '70s...the Vidifont was introduced followed by the first Chyrons)...who created those primitive electronic graphics?

The Videograph (electronic character generator) seen in the clip was manufactured by A. B. Dick Company. This company is better known as a maker of mimeograph machines.
