"Rocket Ride Time...time to get aboard an Oldsmobile." Can you imagine one of today's newscasters cutting to a commercial like that? Oh, and did you notice the pack of Pall Mall cigarettes directly in front of the microphone?

Interesting to watch. I used to listen to Douglas Edwards report the evening news on CBS Radio in the 70s. Seeing this it makes me think how much a corporation like General Motors would have held sway over how things were reported. He even said the name Oldsmobile almost seamlessly with the news. Paul Harvey used to do that. That music. All I can say is I’m glad rock n roll came along a few years later.

US television was miles ahead with TV news than in Britain - in 1950 there was no British television news program as such, just a Television Newsreel which was non topical. Radio was where the British got their news each day in 1952. Eventually a British TV news program launched in 1954, but in vision newscasters wasn't seen until 1955

They still do, but the news reports only take up a small portion of every hour, so they have to fill the rest with opinion. The network newscasts don't have enough time to do that, and this broadcast has even less. It's only 15 minutes.

$12000 homes but you needed 50% down! GI Bill covered 30% of mortgage so you might need about $2400 to get into a house (about 1/2 a yr avg income then.) I was born in 1952 and later as an adult my first home cost $110,000 in 1990. To keep up with that inflation homes today would have to cost around 1.2 million avg! so dont complain too much please!
