70 years of WPRI 12: A look back at the station's history
WPRI 12 first began broadcasting on March 27, 1955, under a slightly different name and in black-and-white.
Hope you'll take 5 minutes and watch this fun brief history of @wpri12.bsky.social that I put together with @kylekane.bsky.social to mark our 70th anniversary. It's two videos back to back (there's a commercial in the middle). Lots of rare footage in here!
