60-Year Old TV Documentary Available Online

As WEWS in Cleveland, Ohio geared up for its 65th anniversary on December 17 of this year, the station dug up a documentary from 1953 about television in the city and the region. It's split into two parts, and I have not personally watched it all the way through yet, but what I've seen so far looks really interesting. Click the link below to see it.

Thanks Trip,
Very interesting.
The UHF stations mentioned must have been some of the earliest.
Preserved on film, the only way in those days.
Quite good stuff! Seeing those big low-band antennas being hoisted onto Ohio roofs, needed for WNBK and WEWS, reveal just how vital OTA was back then.
