Greetings friends, I'm willing to trade any videotapes. I have a copy of Walter Cronkite's Apollo 11 launch day coverage and David Brinkley's same day coverage from NBC. Cronkite is more thorough in his analysis than Brinkley. Anyone have the STS-1 television coverage, especially ABC's commentary by Frank Reynolds and Eugene Cernan? Or any other historical mission, Apollo 8, other Apollo television launches or early shuttly launches. We can trade videotapes. Thanks. |

Thanks.[/B][/QUOTE]Yes, I have quite a bit of ABC's STS-1 coverage, as well as some CBS with Cronkite and Leo Krupp at Edwards for the landing. Have lots of other early network shuttle coverage as well. Is your Apollo 11 coverage from direct off-air, or is it from a later compilation? Does it include commercials? Please contact me using the email address in my signature block. Thanks |

Greetings Orthon and Clavius: Yes, in answers to both of your questions, the CBS footage I have is a direct feed with commericials. Clarius, how do I get to your signature block? Sure, the STS-1 is the one I was looking for. Thanks and keep in touch, lets talk about trading. |

Hi--I am a journalism graduate student at the University of Maryland (and a science journalist who used to be ME at Ad Astra magazine) who is now completing a master's degree, with thesis, about the history of TV-radio network space coverage, and I plan to pursue a doctorate on that topic, too. I have been interviewing many on-air and behind-the-scenes folks and doing research in person at CBS News in NYC, the Library of Congress, National Archives II, NASA History Office DC, NASM Archives, etc. I am interested in any suggestions you may have that I might not have thought of. Also, I am especially interested right now in materials to do with Apollo 8, especially CBS News special events television coverage of "The Flight of Apollo 8," as I am doing a historical article on that topic. I have some transcripts that maybe I could trade you for, for example. Thank you!With regards,
AR Hogan

This is very interesting, and I haven't anything similar to trade, hmm... However, I do know how to make DVD's on my trusty Apple computer... The recordable discs hold about 90 minutes each. It wouldn't take much out of my day, as the time consuming parts can be done at night. Let me know if there's any interest. |

I have (I think about) six hours of Apollo 11 coverage (launch, EVA, splashdown) that I'd love to trade for some CBS coverage of Apollo 8 and/or 13. I'd just have to find a place to run a good quality copy. Lemme know.
Thanks!

The broadcasts are copyrighted, of course. Rights holders will often look the other way if no money is changing hands, but then again we can't have Mr. Pearlman risk getting nastygrams. Each of the networks operates stock footage archives, I wonder what they would charge for their footage, for noncommercial use? Another good thing to do: write the networks and bug them to put these broadcasts on DVD. This sounds like a job for Spacecraft Films... |

I tried to get a copy of Walter Cronkites coverage of the first Saturn 5 launch (unmanned Apollo 4). Lots of luck. CBS played dumb and gave a bunch of evasive answers. I tried to get Spacecraft films to get it, and they didn't have any luck either.
They keep these historic events selfishly locked away forever. |

When we were creating the Saturn V set, I spent months trying to get the Apollo 4 broadcast. The BBC now manages the CBS News Archive, and despite several searches claimed that they had nothing on the Saturn V (or any other possible derivative-named broadcast) in 1967. I was more than willing to pay the rights fee, but they claimed it was not in their archive. (I do not believe them). I tried other ways and could not score on this particular broadcast. Someday, perhaps. But as for now, no joy.Mark Gray

Hi--This is the UMCP journalism graduate student again. I am willing to trade some Westinghouse radio coverage audio tapes from Sputnik 1 in 1957, various Apollo missions, etc. for any audio or television of CBS News Apollo 8 television coverage from December 1968 and (aftermath events in NYC and DC) January 1969. I could also photocopy some network TV space coverage press releases for you. I am finishing a masrter's degree and soon starting a doctorate on this subject.Thank you,

I have been searching for the CBS transmission for over 25 years!!! Still no luck. I have a large collection of video/audio taken mainly from British TV from STS-1 thru to the present. herman, if you would or could trade for something I have got, you would be ending a search that has gone on too long.Mark...the BBC did broadcast a segment of the BBC coverage of Apollo 4s launch in a documentry not long ago. It wasnt complete, but they have got that one! Kepp badgering them. I did hear that the BBC had wiped their Apollo tapes....but I also heard that the cost of "playing" them on their vintage VCRs that will hold the tapes is staggeringly high! Hope this helps a bit.

Attention ARHOGANI also covered Apollo-8 (and later Apollo misisons) real-time for BIS Spaceflight. This article now forms part of the NASA Apollo Bibliography . I've still got my original copy of the typed notes I did for this article (subsequently edited for final printed version). Also, many original news releases from Apollo-8 issued by manufacturers,USIS and NASA news releases (besides press kit). The first 'real' news release about Apollo-8 started to flow in October 1968 when - on October 9th - the Apollo-Saturn V vehicle was rolled out of the VAB. At that time, the mission was still scheduled for a manned earth orbital mission only on a Saturn V vehicle. Discussions had been taking place prior to that of possibly sending Apollo-8 on one of 3 other possible flights - a earth orbital mission into deep space, a circumlunar flyby or a lunar orbital mission. The final decison to undertake a lunar orbital mission would be made by NASA only after the succesful Apollo-7 earth

A lot of early BBC 'videotapes' were wiped by them some years ago - not just Apollo but many other topics.Its only recently that some early public videotapes of Apollo-11 were unearthed and were 'secured' by BBC. Its possible - just possible - that the early Apollo flights have been wiped? You have to remember that these tapes were pretty expensive at the time (as was thekit being used to record/playback) so it would not have been unusual to reuse tapes over and over for news items of all sorts.
