Here is a blast from the past

Good old days indeed... when I run across more stuff I'll put up some more caps... I watched the entire Challenger Disaster yesterday from a tape made from NASA, no talking heads (although I did have the CBS Evening News with Dan on same tape from that day)

I guess it must have been F1 that I used to watch raw news feeds on.
I really liked that part. I think it was around 17:00 PST daily.
Seems they had some Alaska feeds too. Were those on F1? Can't remember

Do they have raw news feeds anywhere on a regular basis now?
