The news programs that I recorded starting 9/16/2001. Commercials removed. Since I recorded from the beginning, I can only assume that the first ones went out with the unlabeled tapes. Sigh.

Other recorded news, wars, etc. appear in this News Playlist.

And Political Music Videos (mostly Trump) Playlist.

20 years ago... Michael Jordan and myself are same age.

Forgot he came back to play hoops at 38...

Wow.

Time machine.

I sure wish I had one, if only to escape this PLANDEMIC.

They’re changing history, but here we have the original reactions. So these will stay important.

I only edited out commercials and repeat segments. It was a massive job because the software that converts the original tapes end up making the result out of synch. Mouths don’t match up with sound. So it’s necessary to keep taking out or putting in sound or image 1/30ths of a second to get the synch back. Luckily I learned to do that when I was editing a slow speaking VP and had to take out frames to make him appear faster spoken, and therefore more assertive.

I still have four tapes that I recorded at a slower speed that I haven’t done the synching for, so have never put them up. Think they’re war tapes.

It’s a good resource but the 35 second chunks are grinding my teeth.

[mairdie]

Got it! I recorded Beta II High Band, which is why I used up so many tapes.

Feel free to share, I didn’t want to thread hi-jack

[mairdie]

I’ll do that right away. Thread hi-jacking is just the way FR always works. I take it for granted and enjoy the different directions the conversations go. This was a valuable resource that SHOULD be widely shared. Mary

I started recording right after the 2nd plane struck. I’m live streaming 18 hours of what we watched live 20 years ago.

We were all aflitter over the Gary Condit scandal. Boy, did he ever get a break from the news!

I remember saying to Mom, "I bet Gary Condit is probably wiping the sweat off his brow and saying, Whew!" I also remember the big thing then was overaged little league players and shark bites. Locally in Pittsburgh, the big news was that Larry Richert just took over the morning spot from John Cigna on KDKA-AM radio and the first Krispie Kreme opened up in the Pittsburgh area and that was the big thing until the first plane slammed into the WTC.

One interesting, ironic fact that day is when the towers went down, WNBC-TV and other radio/TV stations were off the air unless they had backup transmitters in the Chrysler or Empire State Building. WNBC-TV did not have one and they had to scramble to find a transmitter site and ended up going to the Edwin Howard Armstrong FM Tower in Palisades, New Jersey. I find that ironic since in the 1930's, Armstrong and David Sarnoff became enemies and he built his tower just so Sarnoff can see it to stick it to him. Somewhere in Heaven or the Afterlife, I can see Armstrong chuckling and saying to Sarnoff, "you still need me after all."
