Broadcast consultant Glenn Reitmeier released a series of never-before-seen videos on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the April 10, 1995, Grand Alliance World Premiere Demonstration and Press Conference in Las Vegas at the 1995 NAB Show.

Among the new clips are: the introduction of the first demo; the press conference presented in three parts; various questions and answers about the new digital HDTV system; and footage of the Grand Alliance interoperability demonstration and encoder tour from November 1995.

Reitmeier has also created a Grand Alliance history page with these clips, photos and documents, including the Grand Alliance press release announcing the debut of the Grand Alliance digital HDTV system.

Reitmeier was among the engineers who developed the Grand Alliance digital HDTV system.

The newly available video clips of the Grand Alliance digital HDTV rollout are available online. These videos are in addition to what Reitmeier previously released on the completion of the HDTV systems’ integration at the Sarnoff Field Lab.

WASHINGTON—C-SPAN said it would dedicate airtime to House members from both parties to broadcast brief video statements explaining their position on the emergency coronavirus legislation vote.

Many House members are unable to travel to Washington for the vote on the Cares Act coronavirus relief legislation, which takes place Friday, March 27.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-N.Y.) requested the network help connect members with the public during the crisis—a first for C-SPAN in its 41-year history, the network said.

C-SPAN currently is working internally to prepare for the onslaught of videos and is coordinating the technical details with the House leadership offices. At the moment, the network expects the statements to air in blocks during prime time the week of March 30.

The videos will air on TV and radio and be streamed from C-SPAN.org. They also will be archived in the network’s online video library.
