Christine Chubbuck

pk is right about the cost of a VCR for home use, back then. My mom bought one for my dad in 1981, for their 25th wedding anniversary. She paid $1,200 for a new one. Adjusted for today's prices, that would be $4,500. Even blank video tapes were expensive. Each one cost $30. Yes, that was for ONE blank video tape!

Yeah - my ex gave me one as an anniversary present in the mid 80's - a Zenith BetaMax that cost about $1600.00.
It was high tech - had a remote control with about a 25-foot long cable.

"Christine" is now on Tubi. Allegedly, a man who worked for the Sarasota news station witnessed the infamous incident. He allegedly helped wit accuracy. I watched it last night and now I'm researching/obsessing, too.
The film depicts Christine sitting at the far right of the news desk. Crime scene pics show her seat at the opposite end.

I'll have to watch it and welcome back Alan
