Senator John McCain Interview

Last week I traveled with Lee Conklin to Columbus to interview the presumptive GOP candidate for President of the United States, Senator John McCain. In February, I posted the interview Lee and I did with Senator Barack Obama in its entirety. Now here is the follow-up to that post, Lee's interview with Senator McCain in its entirety.

13 ABC EARNS ITS GOLDEN BUCKEYE CARD

We celebrated our 60th Birthday here at WTVG this week. We first hit the air on July 21st, 1948. For more than a decade Channel 13 was the only TV station in town. In 1958, we became an NBC station. In 1995, The Walt Disney Company bought WTVG and we switched to become an ABC station. Originally, our call letters were WSPD-TV.

Below is some video made from a film transfer from the summer of 1948. The video includes a WSPD-TV slate, shots of the studio being constructed, engineering equipment and cameras, and video of the old transmitter tower construction.
