[BC] TM's Tomorrow Radio

What scares me is the show went on the road. Actually, it  was quite good.  
My company supplied the house PA system for it and I  was at all the shows.  
The PA system was six channels plus a subwoofer  feed. It ran off of a 1" 8 
track tape. As I recall it was in the area  of 25,000 watts which was huge power 
for the 1970's.  One track was used  for slide cues, the remaining 7 tracks 
were for house sound.  It  was pretty advanced stuff for the day.  I think we 
first did it at Radio  & Records in Dallas, but it went over so well that it went 
on to the NAB  Radio Show, the Las Vegas NAB show and several regional radio 
conventions.  Keeping the 8 track Scully tape deck working was a big part of 
the job.   TM's house engineer Chuck Webster, spent a lot of time keeping it 
working.
 
Some of the load ins really sucked.  I remember dragging a truck load  of PA 
system through the lobby of the new Orleans Hyatt at 4 AM to be ready for  a 
breakfast presentation.  We probably woke up the entire hotel. 
 
Ah, the "good old days..."
