Camel News Caravan
1950sCamel News Caravan
Now this is pretty strange. Camel News Caravan was the first regular television news program in the United States, running from 1949 to 1956. And, as this clip from Granada's 1985 documentary series 'Television' shows, they had their own unique way of presenting stories they had no footage for. This is so shockingly amateur, it almost makes Fox News look like a proper news service...almost.
