Miami Jai Alai broadcast on TV in the 1950's. Posted on September 14, 2023 at 09:35:38 AM by William
I recently was talking to someone who was born in 1945 in Miami. He told me that the games from Miami Jai Alai used to be regularly broadcast on TV on the first and at the time the only TV station in Miami, WTVJ-Channel 4. He also said all the TV shows that were broadcast from NY in the early to mid 1950's only reached as far as Jacksonville and had to be recorded there and then shipped by truck to Miami to be shown a day later on WTVJ.
All of those old "Wolfson Archives" video clips that Jesus has posted of Miami Jai Alai back in the day came from Mitchell Wolfson, who is the founder of WTVJ in Miami. Most likely left over from the time they were part of the TV broadcast.
