Casablanca Live Satellite Broadcast 1983

[Cole S.]

I've been conversing with Ed Hart, former president (among other positions) of Casablanca. He's sent a number of very cool things, right now I'm just receiving it and will organize it at some point and probably post it, but this video just went up on YouTube. It's the hour-long live satellite broadcast (portions pre-recorded) where they launched Inteli•Touch. There's some information quoted from Ed in the video description, basically this was the first production of its kind, broadcast to locations across the United States where dealers, media, etc. congregated to view it. He wasn't sure that anyone ever did what they did with the technology ever again, but if you look at internet streaming now, this was really the first take on that. And Casablanca did it. Their marketing techniques were just next-level. Nobody then or now has ever quite matched their strategy.

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this video. I've seen almost the entire video and it's been a "wow" for the whole time, I loved it.
Thanks again for sharing, it's a masterpiece

I'm so happy to share, and Ed has been thrilled to be sharing his own memories and stories knowing they will ultimately be remembered and preserved within this community. The entire thing has been a tremendous honor for me.

I watched it Monday night. If you look closely (not saying when in the video to keep it a surprise!) you can see Tom Frampton in one of the segments. Didn't know early fans had Demo Mode, and also surprised that they didn't show Flik Mode.

I look forward to watching this over the weekend...
