Broadcast Wars Ep 1: Just the Facts

Season 6 Episode 1

Stanley Hubbard's venerable KSTP-TV is challenged by Dave Moore and upstart WCCO in the late 1960s.

Stanley E. Hubbard is an early pioneer in radio and television, and KSTP is the top local TV news for decades. That is, until a fresh-faced Dave Moore and his team launch a new kind of newscast at WCCO that ignites a fierce war for ratings which still rages today. Women and people of color fight their way into smoky, insular newsrooms, proving themselves to everyone, and paving the way for others.

About Minnesota Experience

For decades, Twin Cities PBS (TPT) has dived into the whitewater of bygone eras and emerged with insight about our shared past and values as Minnesotans. Tapping into TPT’s rich archive of historical stories and adding new ones to the fold, Minnesota Experience holds the mirror of history up to the modern moment as a force that can forever change who we are and who we want to be.

Made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund and the Friends of Minnesota Experience, a group of philanthropists who believe that celebrating our history together creates bonds in our divisive world.
