Latest / MN90: Minnesota History in 90 Seconds

Minnesota Broadcaster’s Pioneering Use of Satellites

The invention of the satellite newsgathering truck by lifelong Minnesota broadcaster Stanley S. Hubbard was met with skepticism when he first demonstrated it in 1981. But as MN90 producer Marisa Helms reports, nowadays every T-V station that has a meaningful news operation has a satellite newsgathering truck. No matter where news is happening or when it’s happening, we can all watch it live thanks to Mr. Hubbard. [Original Airdate: 11/23/10]
