TI used in public access cable TV?

Recommended Posts

This came up in a discussion I was having. Sure, the Amiga was used in later years for public access TV channels(weather, community news, school lunches), but was the TI ever used?

 

 

The only time I saw the TI used on TV was on an episode of The Price is Right.

The local UHF station in my grandparent's town of Peachland, BC, clearly used a TI for the community messages channel (back in the 90s). From the font to a double-size magnified sprite of Mr Bojangles dancing across the top of the screen, I recognized it instantly. ;) Sadly, no pictures.

In the mid 80's, the local cable access channel I volunteered at used a TI-99/4A to program the chyron.  They upgraded to an Amiga for all video work later, but being an underfunded entity had to make do with cast-offs.
