Early Kid's TV Show On WCAU Philadelphia (1950)

Year Published: 1950

Description:

This 16mm kinescope is an early episode of Junior Hi-Jinx, a children's television show that aired on WCAU in Philadelphia and starred Willie The Worm. Willie was very popular with kids from the start, and soon the show title would be dropped and it became the Willie The Worm show. This 16mm Kinescope reel was shot directly off of a synchronized CRT monitor and stands as a very interesting look into the early days of live television in Philadelphia. Enjoy!
