WTTW Inaugural Broadcast.wmv

It's the very first channel 11 broadcast offering us a Window To The World. It's a grainy, B&W, convex little dusty glass window with optional nicotine antique gradient. And we're glad they lost the educational focus by the time Monty Python arrived.

1955! I was 4 years old and I remember seeing Studs Terkel on "Studs Place" and hearing him on WFMTfm radio each morning.

This is so interesting. I watched Sesame Street and Electric Company as a little kid in the early 70s and picked up literacy. I was reading pencil-writing at 3 years old and amazed my nursery school teachers. I guess the "glass window" refers to the first TV set, which I know had a tiny screen.
