KYTV (KY3) in Springfield, Mo., a few weeks ago produced and broadcast a one-hour special, “Celebrate the Ozarks: Route 66.”
Tim Leimkuhler, a news photographer at KY3 and producer of the program, says the program dealt with the Mother Road from Rolla, Mo., to just across the border in Galena, Kan. He promised to eventually place the program online.
Well, it’s piecemeal in about one-minute clips, but the program has indeed been posted on KY3. The total running time of these clips is a little over 37 minutes, which very close to the running time for a one-hour program with commercials.
Clips include features about Route 66 author Michael Wallis, John’s Modern Cabins, Stony Dell Resort, “The Grapes of Wrath,” Elbow Inn, Munger Moss Motel, Red’s Giant Hamburg, and Elvis Presley’s performance at the Gillioz Theatre. You can see them all here.
I watched a few…very well done!
