America Loves a Parade, Especially on Television
Parades are a longtime occasion to celebrate and honor. BAF explores how the presence of television has heightened the experience. This involves eliminating the factor of traveling the distance to see the spectacle, bringing amazing views close up through camera angles to see floats, inflatables, and performances plus hearing commentary from favorite on-air personalities. It all started in 1948 with the first national telecast of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade bringing enjoyment and pop culture to American households over a national holiday. This annual telecast led the way to others that promote recreational and political events. With the 99th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on the horizon take a look back to its time on the air.
