John Cameron Swayze and the Plymouth Caravan of News

With the loss of Walter Cronkite, we now have lost our first generation of TV newscasters. Robert Trout, John Cameron Swayze, David Brinkley, Edward R Murrow, Chet Huntley, John Charles Daly, Alex Drier, and Howard K Smith were the stalwarts of that group. All gone now but not forgotten. The TVS Television Network, through its TVS History.Com IPTV channel, is presenting these newscasters just as they were way back then. Just go to TV4U.Com and click on the History Icon. The go to Playmouth Caravan News and watch John Cameron Swayze bring you the national news of the day----in 1953! Lot's of fascinating parts to this, including a review of the baseball scores at the end of the 15 minute telecast. Imagine that!
