TB's Election Video Thread

[Dancing with Myself]

I decided to start uploading some of my election nights I had on DVD onto You Tube just for the heck of it. And I figured I would put the playlists here in case any one is interested:

I have all of those except for 1964 (IDK if any coverage exists) and 1994 (I plan on getting the coverage sometime).

How does 1976 sound as the next one guys?

[Dancing with Myself]

I just made a random decision to choose 72 first because I had two different dvd's of the coverage, I would have started with 1976 besides that.

As for 1992 I have the NBC coverage, and I will upload it near the end unless someone wants to see it after '76.

These are great!  Good to see the correct color scheme in use by the media back then.  Though why did CBS color all states for the Democrats at the beginning, and switch them to GOP one by one?

It was also pretty funny to see the live feed to the GOP headquarters interrupted by a loud cheer from the crowd in the background; with the explanation that CBS had just called New York for Nixon, only to have Walter Cronkite back in the CBS studio say, "What?  No we haven't."

Oh yes, I wish the colors were still the same. I think the colors for the uncalled states look kind of orange, but it may be different on your computer/cell phone. The colors were miles ahead of ABC, they used yellow for both Nixon and McGovern! The only difference is they added lines through Massachusetts.

I think I know the reason why there was a confusion for NY, NBC called the race a little after 8:00 PM which was way to early, and they called NY early as well.  NBC was behind Cronkite and CBS in the ratings then, and they would do anything for to be #1. I turned out a bad strategy, as they lost by less than a point to CBS. in 1976 they brought the big map in the studio and won the ratings, but in 1980 they got in trouble by calling states based off exit polls, and they had to quit trying to be first all together.

Here are some clips leading up from the 1976 Primaries to September 1976. Got a good little sey here, the video fills the gaps so to speak by leading up to Election Night 1976. It will be up soon, maybe as early as tomorrow. Be on the lookout folks!

Here is Election Night 1976. I took out the commercials and the local breaks just because it took up a lot of space. I hope you all enjoy, some more is coming!

The 1968 Cycle is taking a little longer than expected but I should be getting to election night by the weekend.

[Dancing with Myself]

I forgot about this thread!

But I cannot for whatever reason find ANYTHING from 1964, or 1956 for that matter. The only thing I know for sure was that there is a post election special by CBS out on the circuit but what's the point in that? No thanks.

I seen maybe about 30 seconds worth of ABC's 1964 coverage, it looked pretty good for it's age and for ABC in those days. But that's about it.

I need to get into uploading again!

[Dancing with Myself]

I've been aiming to get back uploading again, life's been so busy the last couple of years.

The 1968 and 72 coverage is the best shape they can be in for being 40+ years old.

I'm trying to figure what year I will upload next. I'm leaning more modern this time.
