Television in White Sulphur Springs
From The Meagher County News, Wednesday, March 24, 1954:
The first television program broadcast by station KFBB, Great Falls, was viewed last Sunday at the Marvin Corkill home by neighbors who dropped in during the evening. This is the first television program, lasting for any considerable time, which has been received in White Sulphur Springs, although during the past year “skip” or intermittent reception from several points in the United States was reported by Marvin Corkill and Hersman Gwin.
In later television related news, Taylor Gordon appeared on local television at one point after he returned to live in the Springs. An article in The Meagher County News (Oct 26, 1967) describes that appearance:
Tuesday morning, October 24, Taylor Gordon was on KRTV in Great Falls on the “Today in Montana” show at 8:00 A. M. Miss Norma Ashby introduced his book, “The Man Who Built the Stone Castle,” the biography of B. R. Sherman. Miss Ashby also persuaded Taylor to sing three songs. “Because,” “Old Man River,” and one verse of “Camptown Races.”
