Broadcast Wars | The Golden Era of Minnesota's TV News | Episode 1

There was a time when people would stop what they were doing and watch the local evening news. Twin Cities PBS’s "Broadcast Wars," co-produced with Cathy Wurzer, takes us back a half century to the era when ratings battles were fierce, women and people of color were making their presence known, technology was rapidly evolving, and local TV news was as vital as it was entertaining.
