I never knew where the term "Klieg light" came from until I saw this
picture
KVOO-TV did indeed use a black and white camera to shoot graphics and photo faxes (most were B & W anyway) because they had no choice. There is a photo of the camera on the TTM KVOO-TV page on election night. The date is not correct, however, because I was at KOTV in 1968 (this picture was previously billed as Nov. '68...Webmaster) . Must have been 1964 or possibly 1966.
That election night photo ("Election set at KVOO with Mike Miller") is most likely from 1964, because the RCA color TV set over on the left is either a CTC16 that was sold from 1964-65, or a CTC20 sold from 1965-66. The CTC20 is less likely; if this had been shot in fall 1965, the advertiser would probably have featured a CTC17X instead. |
