Description

Turn back the clock and spend an afternoon and evening watching television as it might have appeared on an American local station between 1955 and 1959.

The Local Station is a carefully arranged 40-program viewing experience inspired by the schedules of independent and network-affiliated television stations during the 1950s. Programs are presented in broadcast-day order with vintage commercials, station identifications, public-service announcements and station breaks placed throughout the schedule.

Begin with afternoon news and after-school entertainment, continue through early-evening family programming and prime-time television, and finish with a late-night feature before station sign-off.

This is more than a group of unrelated shows—it is a recreation of an evening spent watching your local television station during television’s Golden Age.
