How to find a copy of a TV show from 1970's?

Question

I am trying to find a copy of a TV show that aired in Baltimore MD in the 70's. My brother in law was in this and he is now deceased and my nephew has asked me to help him. I called the tv station that he thought it was on, and they told me they do not go back that far!

The name of the show was "New Wind Blowing" and I think it was kind of a local show..My brother in law sang and played the guitar, so I am thinking it was kind of a local talent type show

.. I am now at a dead end .... any ideas would be great! Thanks !!!

Answer 1

You had the right idea in contacting the local station (sadly, many local stations never archived their locally-made programming from the Seventies)...try finding out a little more about this show online (there are a couple of sites about Baltimore-area TV history) and resume your search with the Baltimore-area stations first before the suggestion below.

I suggest that you try the newsgroup alt.video-tape.trading (accessible through Google or the link below); someone might have an off-the-air copy of the show you're looking for.
