On-Air (1979)
From Don Hallock
Ever wondered what it takes to put on a public television or radio production? Well, here’s a glance behind the scenes (as if you needed one). It was originally prepared as a 1979 issue of the WGBH publication ON AIR. In this context, the entire tract functions, as well, as an attractive recounting of the station’s more recent production history — and many of our friends and co-workers show up here.
A certain unpredictable amount of moiré may still be observed in the original scans.
