So many of us had a little more free time back then to enjoy the exploration of analog C band and KU. I don't even go back that far. Glad I at least got to experience the waning days of half hour prefeeds for newscasts, first years of "Big Brother" tv show's live feeds from the house and Julie Chen rehearsing while having her makeup done. Watching weather channel talent getting blown around on some beach hoping their feed slot would come before their satlink would be blown out of sync. Skirmishes between reporters jockeying for position at OJ trial. Spending the early hours of Dec 31 watching how others celebrate New Years as it approched midnight in a dozen different time zones. Interesting feeds from 1990's political coventions. Listening to sports cameramen as they broadcast live displays of people exposing themselves "inconspicuously" well before the games were scheduled to start at major sports events. Bourbon Street feeds from MardiGras week in New Orleans before networks were warned about instigating lewd behavior in the crowds. If we only appreciated then, just how short a time span we would have to enjoy such freedom. It was sort of like the treasurehunter on the beach with his metal detecter not knowing what might turn up next. Oh well, wouldn't have time for exploring now even it it were there on C or KU. Is it really still out there on some FTA of internet channels?
