You probably came here because of the KCTU dancers - a microcosmic phenomenon created during a summer television special in Wichita, KS in 2014 by an 18 year old (yours truly). The dancers were part of "The Low Budget Late Show," a half-hour program that actually aired on Sunday afternoons. The budget for the show was $20. (It brought in $200 in revenue but I never saw the 10%. Oh well.)
Anyway, there are many other low-budget television goodies here. All made in a building that has now returned to it's original intent as a carpet store.

Inside the KCTU Control Room
Переглядів 9844 роки тому
Here's the old control room during a production of "Your Hour" in 2014 when KCTU-TV 43 was located at 2100 E. Douglas in Wichita, KS. This is where The Low-Budget Late Show (KCTU Dancers), Good Morning Wichita, Your Hour, Mouthy Broads, The River City Forum and all the other live or pre-recorded shows were made. Needless to say, I spent countless hours in here. While the equipment wasn't up-to-...

43 Reports in Your Hour - KCTU Newscast - 2012
Переглядів 2564 роки тому
I was trying to figure out why I had this DVD, and then I realized it was from the first TV show I directed solo at age 16. Here's newsman RJ Dickens and his bottom-of-the-hour newscast as aired on KCTU-TV in Wichita, Kansas, on July 27, 2012 as part of the daily "Your Hour" magazine program. Keep in mind most of the broadcast equipment was from the 80's and 90' (and some from the 60's and 70's).
Booty Swing - KCTU Dancers
Переглядів 38 тис.6 років тому
A few years ago, the generous owners of KCTU-TV in Wichita, KS let some teenagers take over their studio and produce and air basically whatever they wanted. This is the result. Using almost no equipment from the 21st century including TV cameras from 1983 and computers not much newer than that, the Low-Budget Late Show was born during the summer of 2014. Here's "Booty Swing" by Parov Stelar fro...

Tribute to Morgan Faulkner

Remembering my friend Morgan Faulkner, who helped me with many shows, including my first film, "The Glob," to a "A KCTU Halloween," the "Riverfest Report," "A KCTU Christmas," and the "Low-Budget Late Show." Without him, many of my videos would probably never exist. I hope this video will help others remember the caring, funny and personal side of Morgan. If you are struggling with thoughts of ...

ALWAYS makes me smile 😆 Clean cut,sincere,😊no fatties,no tattoos 😊. Brings back memories ☺️
truly the good old days!
From what I've seen on some of these episodes, the dancers and announcers at times look like they're trying very hard to keep a straight face and not bust out laughing. I have to commend them for their upfront portrayal of their show, that being low budget entertainment. Yet, it's enjoyable to watch.
just curios , what has happened to these kids? grew up and what next...??? thanks.
Philadelphia , where the Watusi originated, needs to let you know THIS IS NOT THE WATUSI!!!! The Watusi is a cool ass line dance not this awful shit
That is nothing more than line dancing. Maybe that was in Philadelphia!! I lived in Texas.
That's not how we danced to it.
Very nice job!!
It took me a minute to realize this wasn't a genuine clip from the 60s. Great tune by the Orlons.
This video is contagious, I just can't help but come back for more. Brings a smile every time.
THERE NEEDS TO BE A REBOOT OF THESE VIDEOS BY NEW DANCERS. I LOVED THIS. To bad there wasn't more. Kudos to all the dancers, job well done.
This is fun. I wish I could have seen this back then
Born 1957. Was a magical time indeed❤
I just think it's funny that the one lady on the end isn't dressed like somebody from back in the day. 😂
❤️
OK now I'll have this song in my head for the next two weeks....
They look like they are having so much fun! Great!
PLEASE MAIL ME THOSE BLACK SNEAKERS TO:: VINCE SPANISH 312 GRIFFITHS STREET SYRACUSE NY 13208 THANK YOU
Where's all the fat kids
My mom was born in 46 and I remember listening to her 60’s music. Love it! They’re a bit stiff though
Soo tik tok dance fads really aren't a new phenomenon at all after all huh? 😅
CAN YOU MAIL ME THOSE BLACK SNEAKERS BEING WORN BY THE GUY IN THE LINE UP???
No one's bootie in my face. Young ladies and gentlemen having fun.
I like them.
They're outstanding!
Homegirl's dimply smile @3:50 is so full of life and a little mischief!!! Thank you, young lady!!!
Loved it!!!
most beautyful melody❤
Thanks. Girls just wanna dance.
Great video. Kids nowadays still love music and dance, but it’s too produced and their lives too cluttered. Thanks for sharing.
They looked like that were having so much fun! This was a blast to watch
Thank you! Thank you! I've been weighted down by stupid political stuff & you guys broke the spell. So much thank you.
HaHa I was born in 55 and remember my mom and aunt teaching me how to dance to this,Good times!
can you believe those dresses? *** YIKES! *** When girls were girls. ***
Funny thing is, I remember when the Watusi was popular LOL
I love it!!
No CGI? No edits every millisecond? Love it
If someone makes a go back intime machine I'm un to go back in 63 and live only into 79 behon that I careless🙂
We had Great Music these youngsters have no Clue what Great Music is
2024....and suddenly all becomes in 'sex, drugs and regueton' ....
1970?
V.good voice!
Loved these dances from the early to mid 1960's ...
Born in 43 the 50'sand 60's were a blast. I would relive them again. Less B S back then.
My parents were born in 52' and I was born in 86' so I grew up with an appreciation for oldies but jaded by the turn of 21st century. But, I wish I could go back to those long road trips with my family listening to this music you can't find on the radio anymore. (Now with Sirius XM you can listen to the forgotten classics that remind you of your parents divorce and caused your complex PTSD) good times great oldies. Cool Earth 101.1
BS is as old as dirt, being a smug BS artist is proof.
Amazing. ALL this kids!
Anytime I feel blue I watch this clip 😊
When was taped it was unheard of having any other race but Hispanics in México but in America it was blacks Hispanics and Europeans colonizers and the music were black artists 👩🏻🎨
That is not !
Teens in heels to dance is a NO…..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love it
