    GD> leaning.   
      
   When the first Television Station came on the air in Louisville, Kentucky   
   the News Cast was one man sitting at a small table reading the Teletype   
   printout, and then reading another sheet of paper from the Teletype Machine,   
   etc., etc.   
      
   I'm guessing back in the early 1950's he was reading from UPI News reports.   
      
                          OR   
      
   Maybe it was AP News reports he was reading, the Station may even had have   
   Teletype Machines for each of those two News Services.   
      
   Would United Press or Associated Press been leaning one way or another back   
   in the 1950's?   
      
   The Broadcasting Company (WAVE) had operated a AM Radio Station for some time   
   before the Television Station went on the air, so I think that their News   
   Department could have had Teletype Machines connected to both News Services.   
      
   The Local Newspapers printed Articles from both of those News Services then   
   and maybe they still do, I don't subscribe to a Newspaper anymore,   
      
   I (usually) don't listen to National News Casts on TV because years ago I   
   was watching the News and heard the Reporter telling about a young child   
   being severly injured by another child.   
      
   Then the Reporter went on to tell IN DETAIL exactly how it was done.   
   If I remember correctly, a few days later there were some Newspaper articles   
   about the same thing being done to some other children in different parts of   
   the United States.   
      
   Occasionally I will pass by the TV Set when the News is being reported and   
   listen a little bit.   
   But it has to be something that is really interesting for me to stop and   
   listen to the TV News.   
      
   A Weather Forcast will catch my attention, but I could get that information   
   from reading the Local National Weather Service Office's Forecast on their   
   Weather.gov page.
