The Old TV News Coach Blog on WordPress
Random thoughts of a former TV news director
August 29, 2017

Thanks to Jay for forwarding a former TV news director's blog with a fascinating, in-depth accounting of the relatively-unknown-to-fans business side of the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour.

The writer was very much affected by Glen's passing last August 2017. She/he prefaces the article as follows:
On occasion, I detour away from the pure broadcast journalism focus of The Old TV News Coach when we lose someone who touched our lives, especially those of us who are baby boomers. This blogpost is taken from my years as a television historian. I reflect on the rise of a young singer into a popular weekly television performer, as well as the slow beginning of the end of the genre of which he was a significant part from 1968 to 1972.
