Local Kids' Shows and Special Holiday Programming
The era of local TV programs for kids is long since past, but the Internet and the rise of civic TV stations has meant a renaissance of sorts for some of the vintage films and videotapes that survive.
In Seattle, the local civic cable TV station is this month airing a 90-minute holiday special I produced a few years ago with J.P. Patches and Stan Boreson. Patches, played by Chris Wedes, was on KIRO-TV from 1958 to 1981; Boreson was on KING-TV from 1955 to 1968.
Complete online video of The JP Patches and Stan Boreson Holiday Special is available here; cable viewers in Seattle can watch the program several times in December per this broadcast schedule.
Along with newly-recorded segments with Wedes and Boreson from 2006, the real highlights of the show are vintage holiday material from Patches' program from the 1970s, and a Stan Boreson reunion program originally produced for KING-TV in 1980 by Steve Wilson.
If you know of other examples of local kids' programming now accessible via the Internet or airing on civic TV, please share links and other information by commenting on this post.
