History Tidbit

April 20, 2020 Off By Eric O'Brien

I usually find these bits late at night when I am awake enough to surf the net and my Parkinson’s medication allows me an hour or two to actually type instead of shouting at a device that supposedly understands everything you say. (I am also more upfront late at night…)

Anyhow, tonight’s YouTube find is a video piece produced by the Pittsburgh Radio and Television Club in about (near as I can tell 1995 or ’96) for their 50th anniversary celebration. The late Rege Cordic, with his powerful baritone, tells the stories of our local media and many familiar and friendly faces tell their stories and, well, rag a little bit on each other! (Are we surprised?)

The Pittsburgh Radio and Television Club is now the Media Association of Pittsburgh. Is anyone out there in PBRTV land a member?
