VHS recording of May, 1980

[Eric H]

These old home made tapes are a treasure trove of broadcast history, in real time as it happened, I think they should be sought out and preserved as much as possible.

The shows are rerun and issued on DVD of course but the whole experience of what it was like to watch TV in the 70's, 80' & 90's is right there on those tapes, I doubt any TV stations preserve entire blocks of programming like this, ads & all.

Can you imagine if we had had home video in 1946?
