Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade 1939

Just wanted to let you guys know that whoever wrote this article is clearly wrong about the parade being fully lost besides a single photo. lostmediawiki.com/1939_Macy%27s_Thanksgiving_Day_Parade_(lost_experimental_NBC_broadcast_of_parade;_1939)

There’s been numerous clips of the parade floating around online for years, just simply do a YouTube search. Here’s just a handful:

Time to update the article if you can, better yet it would be important to document the rest of the the pre-1953 parades. Only an article for the post-1953 parades currently exists.


apologies for necroposting, but the article is worded wrong. that photo is all we have of the 1939 NBC test.
