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
Просмотров 9294 года назад
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

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
Просмотров 36 тыс.5 лет назад
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 ...

Love it!
Come on and take a chance...
instead of fox news, msnbc, abc, cnn, cbs and nbc...try this on for some much better, non hate, subjectivity.
they know how to do the watusi!!!
Where are they now? I wish one would post a comment. Great times, so innocent.
One of the funniest, things I've ever seen, I mean, no one knew where the beat was. They were just all over the place.No Rhythm Whatsoever. I know that they were kids just having fun but I mean, come on. They were dancing, To a classic R&B song of the 60s. Which was a dance. And to my recollection The wautusi People live in Africa.
I live in Australia, I’m 67 yrs America was a much different country then sad to see how different it is today, they are a different teenager today.
Love the third dancer,the thin blondie girl betwen the gacious nerd Kid snd the girl st black dress..is so cutie and really immerse in the rithm and melody.. Wow ! ,is Divine...The total Group Performance , wonderful too !!
We never did it like this...but okey dokey.
Do you know how much money I have on
How old is the video? I thought 2014, but then someone on here said: "Back then!
That's not how I did it. I did it more like mashed potatoes
Kid in the black shirt on the back row is having a gas.
Say Dad, want to do the watusi!!
Im here from the book “ways of the superior man” 😂😂😂🤷🏾♂️
Happy 10 year anniversary of this video
Treasure! Treasure, treasure, treasure, James Copeland. You've set it to history, maybe history will bring back this great spirit.
Wah Watusi! Superb! ruclips.net/video/L8r-tAM54H0/видео.html
I LOVE THESE KIDS
PS nerds can dance…
Loved this
I love this dance video, but as a non dancer I still don't see what makes this a distinct, identifiable dance. Please help explain
Hmm, well, none of the movements are like the fly, the frug, the madison, the jerk…if you saw such movements on say, the Jackie Gleason show, they probably got them from whoever invented this dance, that is they had never been done before. Based on actual tribal dancing of the Watusi people of Africa, check that out :)
Oh, ok, they did incorporate elements of the swim and the mash potatoes…
Y’see, freestyle but patterned dancing did not exist in the US until rocknroll…
2:36 hehehe yes , yes you are
No tattoos no piercings.
Pretty girls back then!
Who cares. Beautiflully done.
I reckon they weren't trying to fool anyone into thinking that was recorded in the 60s.
All respect to the guy who kept the cardigan from slipping off his shoulders!
Was für eine tolle Truppe und diese süßen Mädchen . . . 🤩 I hope the girl in the blue dress, is not marriet yet. 🥰
Girl in green dress so relaxed Makes it look easy got it to tee.
Best low impact cardio
I love mashpotattos. Wautusi.slop sweetpeas.swim .stroll .twist .hullygully .pearl.madison
I used to stay up all night with my transistor radio tucked near my pillow just so I could catch this song. My sister begged me to shut it off. I didn't, and she told my father. No more nighttime radio!
The girls were so cute thank God I grew up in the late 50s and 60s 70s

Am I watching the Corny Collins Show?
Where are these kids now? REUNION TIME??
Pure unadulterated innocence. So refreshing.
What is this?
A great group of "young people ", not kids, they are all very talented!!
❤I wanna taste Caroline ❤
This is a very good retro reenactment! I've never seen this dance performed. But a few of the skirts are too short for 1963.
the queen on the back row right is feeling her groove.
They hit the griddy no fucking way
