The Best of Bay 8 – Continental Cablevision

Bay 8 – Local cable from the Gateway (to Cape Cod) area of Massachusetts (Wareham, Marion, Mattapoisett, Buzzards Bay.) A VHS tape made for prospective advertisers which shows a variety of clips of Bay 8 programming and features a voiceover and live audio. Digitized for web under the supervision of Lynda Ames. Archived by Wareham Free Public Library. Preserved as part of a collective effort of the members of the facebook group “Wareham, Massachusetts: The Greatest Town on Earth.” This is a VHS rip – therefore the quality of the footage is whatever the tape (age, etc.) and whatever standards were for the times each clip was shot.
