The bulk of this collection consists of tapes of WDRB (Fox 41) television broadcasts of University of Louisville football and basketball games, 1992-1995. In addition, there are tapes of broadcasts, also from WDRB, of the Denny Crum Show, the Ron Cooper Show, the Howard Schnellenberger Show, and live call-in shows, 1990-1998. The tapes are a mixture of Beta and UMatic formats.
This group of basketball films dates from 1972 to 1988 and includes 1972 NCAA games, Missouri Valley Conference games, and other, miscellaneous games, as well as a single videotape of the Denny Crum Show from 1987. Included are several unidentified films and videotapes.
The videotape contains twenty-two minutes of the 1953 Kentucky Invitational Tournament men's basketball game between Western Kentucky State College and the University of Louisville. The tape was created from film converted by Western Kentucky University in 2000. The game was played at the Armory (later the Gardens of Louisville).
