WHAS-TV Tower Raising. February 11th, 1950. WHAS-AM Louisville, Kentucky. Sponsored by: Sustaining. 8:00 AM.
A program about the construction of the first television transmitting antenna in Louisville. The program features a conversation with Walter Gerard, one of the construction workers, while he is five hundred twenty-five feet above the ground. His voice is heard over a "squawk box." The recordings are made on a "tape recorder." During the recording, somebody pulls out the machine's A.C. plug, causing a break in the recording. There is no indication that any of these recordings were ever broadcast.
Note: The TV tower rose to 87 feet.
