American Newscast from 14th November 1994


Whilst scouring youtube for a video of the Chunnel workers finally breaking through to France, I happened across this hilarious Memphis newscast which was broadcast on the very same day.

It is like something straight out of “Anchorman”. I’m just expecting the guy to say he’s going to punch her in the ovaries. It is unbelievably cheesy. Listen to the hick accents of the people they interview and note the black /white divide in reporting. The best bit has to be when they take up a whole minute of broadcast time to tell people what the school lunches for the day will be!
