"We Interrupt This Program..." Breaking News and Special Bulletins of The Past

The term "Breaking News" is overused today. If you look at any of the cable news outlets, or even sometimes on local channels, it seems everything today qualifies as breaking news. On this episode of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, we look back to the days before breaking news, when a graphic on your TV screen was more likely to say "Special Bulletin". In those days, cutting into regular programming to announce something that was happening was serious business. There certainly was something more noteworthy that we, along with the rest of the country needed to know. Often, chills would run down our spines as we wondered what news this special bulletin might bring. The 1950s and 1960s in the middle of the Cold War added more anxiety as we listened to these reports. We recall those days and how presenting these reports has changed over the years. Join us for this look back to those days on Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, on the Galaxy Nostalgia Network. Click here to download: https://bit.ly/BreakingNewsShow
