How cheap were they?

In 1968 on election night the station GM declared Nixon won at 1 AM so
he would not have to pay OT. Channel 9 was six hours ahead of the
networks.

He also would not air Joey Bishop late nights and we ran old reruns of
People Are Funny and went off the air at Midnight.

Our working VTR was a museum piece in 1968. It was an Ampex 1000 with
a serial number of 3.
