Hi,
I am a video collector of live television and am looking if anyone has some taped footage of two particular telethons.
One would be of the Chabad Telethon, which has aired from Los Angeles since the early 1980s (just last month was the 25 Anniversity of the Chabad Telethon). Jan Murray was the orginal host. I know in recent years it has aired on WLNY-TV channel 55.
The second would be any of the National Easter Seals Telethons of the 1970s through early 1980s. Example, Jack Klugman hosted the 1979 Easter Seals Telethon.
I believe it aired on WPIX-TV channel going all the way back to 1972
