About the Collection
About the collection
WOI-TV went on the air in February 1950 and for several years was the first station in central Iowa to offer a regular schedule of programming. It was the first television station owned and operated by an institution of higher learning and was noteworthy for its early experiments in Kinescope recording techniques. WOI-TV was sold to Capital Communications Company, Inc. in 1994. The collection includes clips of WOI-TV news broadcasts from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.
