Chris Sloan's Lego Model TV Station - 1985

I built and programmed TV stations made out of Legos when I was a kid. This station, KTPN-TV in Dallas, TX was my flagship station of TPN: The People Network. It broadcast 8 hours of news, "NewsNow" per day from a live newsroom studio. I built this model from 1982-85 constantly expanding, remodeling it, and changing out the set. In May 1985, I documented it in video and finally edited this video together. The station's news music followed KTVY in Oklahoma City and WRC-TV in Washington (NBC's "Newscenter" theme).

Nice Lego model! When I was young, I used to do the same thing by using dolls as pretend news anchors. I also was a Lego addict too back in the day.

Awesome attention to detail! I would post up maps, drawn up graphics on the wall and set up the family camcorder and play weatherman. Those tapes are still somewhere!
