In My Footsteps: A Gen-X Nostalgia Podcast
Episode 149: Boston's Very Own Music TV Station; When the Dot-Com Bubble Burst; Highest Rated TV Show Episodes Ever; Baseball's Origin(6-19-2024)
The brief time when Boston had it's own music television station. The financial catastrophe of the bursting of the dot-com bubble. The highest-rated television show episodes ever.
Episode 149 of the podcast turns up the heat with nostalgia as summer kicks off.
As MTV was conquering cable television in the early 1980s a Boston-based radio personality thought it would be a good idea to create a local music television station for young people that did not have cable access. The year was 1985. The station was V66. We kick off the show by looking back at this brief but fondly remembered channel.
For a short while it felt like everything in the dot-com world was golden. Sadly that was not the case and as the 21st century began the bubble burst and the landscape of internet business changed forever. We go way Back In the Day to when the Dot-Com Bubble Burst and the effects it had.
This week's Top 5 is actually a Top 10. We'll list the highest-rated television show episodes ever, with a few caveats of course. Did you watch any of these shows?
Of course there will be a new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the first baseball game ever played.
