The Show (1970)

"The Show" ran for 26 weeks in 1970 bringing a "who's, who" of contemporary rock bands and folk singers to national television. In 1969, during the early years of public television, and only a year after the Public Broadcasting Service began, WITF-TV in little Hersey, Pennsylvania, applied to PBS for a grant to produce a national series of programs for high school kids. It was to be called The Show...a forum where young people could address the events of the day with prominent guests and listen to contemporary music. This was the year of Woodstock, so the importance of music in the life of teens was vital.
