Radio and Television
Back in the undergrad days, most of us off-campus dwellers did not have a television. Some including myself did own a radio. I read the campus and local newspapers. Those times when I visited home, I did catch some of the television programs and news.
You may be interested in Doug Quick's "Central Illinois On Line Broadcast Museum." Doug has a long career in radio and television including stints working as a weatherman, newscaster, DJ, program director, promotions and sales manager as well as being the general manager (Station), and much more.
In 2013, Doug Quick received the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Silver Circle Award based on his work in documenting mid-Illinois television history at his website:

Tim Mitchel became quite active in a Republican politics in DeKalb County, GA during the 70’s. He was campaign manager for Bob Guhl who was elected county chairman and Tim became his Administrative Assistant. Those were the days when the state Republican Party could hold its state convention in a phone booth. Georgia began a long trip to Republican thought during those days. To the “true” Georgia Republican at the time, Tim was known as one of “those damned Rockyfeller Republicans from up North”.
My older brother, Bob, worked for Tim Mitchel, was a student supervisor at snack bar in the University Union.
