A new NET Television production titled, "Don't Touch That Dial" will explore the rich legacy of how television came to Nebraska and the names the many Nebraskans recognize: Johnny Carson. Tom Brokaw. Martha Bohlsen.
The 60-minute program will have its premier screening Thursday, July 20, at 7 p.m. at Omaha's Scott Conference Center, 6450 Pine Street. Included in the program are new and archival interviews, behind-the-scenes photographs and vintage film -- some of which haven't been seen for more than 50 years, according to an NET press release.
"Omaha and Lincoln television stations were extremely cooperative in the providing of archival footage for use in this program," said NET Producer Bill Kelly. "It's great that they have supported sharing their history in this documentary."
The Omaha screening of "Don't Touch That Dial" is free and open to the public. For more information about the screening, contact Amanda Garner at (800) 634-6788 or e-mail agarner@netnebraska.org.
"Don't Touch That Dial" is scheduled to air statewide on NET1 and NET-HD on Saturday, Aug. 5, at 5:30 p.m. CT and repeating on Monday, Aug. 7, at 7 p.m. CT.
