Delivering Breaking News in Early TV, Remembering Jimmy Dean - a podcast by Smitty, Mike, and The Galaxy Gang

In this edition of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, Mike examines the history of Breaking News and Early Television, and contrasts it to breaking news today. The Texas City, Texas explosion of 1947, is remembered, as well as the attempted rescue of Kathy Fiscus from a well in San Marino, California in 1949. Also recalled is the Southern California Bel Air fire of 1961. Mike and Smitty talk about the early technology involved in delivering picture and sound from a remote location. Ian talks about the movies, and how they attempted to survive in the age of television. Motion pictures offered what early TV could not: color, stereophonic sound, wide-screen and even smell-a-rama! Even still, motion picture studios who at first ignored TV found that they had to continually keep ahead of evolving TV technology. Ian also remembers Jimmy Dean, who passed away on June 13, 2010. Jimmy's career is remembered, his singing, and breakfast food business ventures. All this plus another great Retro-Commercial on Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site.
