Roughly 20 minutes of an ABC World News broadcast from WTEN ABC NEWS 10 in Albany, New York in October of 2008. Not certain of the specific date. The recording ends abruptly as the original tape owner stopped recording or recorded over the remaining broadcast.
This broadcast contains discussion of the economic crisis of 2008, the political candidates running for the 2008 election, and other issues including the California wildfires of that year.
The tape's quality is visibly in bad condition. I originally thought this tape was from the 90's or later due to the quality, but was surprised to find out it was recorded in 2008 after seeing an ad for the movie, Bolt. I assume this tape was probably kept in a hot attic and suffered decay as a result of multiple summer heats. So, apologies for the bad quality in advance. Trying to record this in high quality almost made the recording file over 30 gigabytes, so I had to limit the bitrate to 8000 kbps.
If you find any information on what day this was recorded, comment below!
