Paul Lundgren May 15, 2024 2 Comments

This 1964 newspaper clipping, for sale on eBay, shows Duluth television newscasters Walt Jensen and Don Wright at the WDSM-TV anchor desk.

WDSM was Duluth’s first VHF television station, launching in black and white on March 1, 1954. Color broadcasts started in 1965. In 1974 the call letters were changed to KBJR.

Why would someone pay for this? Especially once the scan is uploaded?

It's been on eBay for awhile, so maybe no one will ever buy it, but still, we shouldn't underestimate the compulsion of nerds who collect practically anything. Also, perhaps a descendant of Walt Jensen or Don Wright might seek it out.
