[QuadList] Super Bowl I Videotape-Could an Armed Forces Network bicycle tape be in some dark warehouse?

[C. Park Seward]

More AFN:



July, 1969. AFTV Germany. NO money. NO budget. Idea of doing live TELEVISION was 
not even on anyone's radar scope. Yet a week's coverage of the Apollo XI moon 
landing and surrounding events got done, by the creativity, imagination and hard 
work by the guys at AFTV Germany. Fast forward to today. Is the game being shown 
by any of the TV outlets in Germany or surrounding countries? If so, I would 
imagine the rights, contracts, laws, regulations, hoops, barriers and endless 
miles of red tape would preclude any possibility of AFN TV carrying such? If 
not, did DoD even do a cost estimate of a satellite feed? Wonder what it would 
cost today? Would 'host nations' even permit such, IF they were also carrying 
it? Back then in '69 Eurovision and host nations were only too willing to assist 
the USA in serving its troops!! Just sayin'.....
