Satellite News Channel One Year Anniversary Video

Satellite News Channel was a 24-hour cable news network launched in June 1982 to compete with the then-fledgling CNN.

On the occasion of SNC’s one year anniversary, this short video chronicled the first year of operation. This video never aired on the channel, but was instead played at a staff party held at the corporate headquarters.

The last half of the video contains a selection of bloopers, some from the SNC and some with more-recognizable news folks, including Chris Wallace, Sam Donaldson and Bill Plante.
