"That’s Howard Caldwell reporting for WTHI in Terre Haute in 1955. It’s a clip from the Indiana Broadcast History Archive, preserving the legacy of Hoosier television and radio. Hear more vintage audio in a feature report later in the show. That’s coming up next on the WFHB Local News.
The Indiana Broadcast History Archive preserves the legacy of Hoosier television and radio. Archivist Josh Bennett and director Mike Conway tell the story of rescuing footage from the basements and closets of Indiana in a report produced in partnership with The Media School at Indiana University. This report features vintage audio from the archive: Howard Caldwell reporting on a “red scare” in Fort Wayne for WTHI in 1955, and WTTV live coverage of a mortgage company president held hostage with a shotgun in Indianapolis in 1977."
