Broadcasting in Chicago: 1921-1989

Do you remember when television was a brand new concept, and everything was black and white? Probably not many of us do. Rich Samuels will send you back in time to the days when Dave Garroway was a hot new comic, and everyone was watching "Kukla, Fran and Ollie." Samuels looks at looks back from two points of view, as a historian and a news reporter. His online museum takes a closer look at the role played by "The Chicago School of Television." The site is sprinkled liberally with a collection of photos from TV's early days (40s-70s). Those who are old enough to remember will enjoy the trip down memory lane, and those who aren't will get extensive background information about the media that has played such an important part in our lives for the last five decades.
