Filmed news stories from WAEO-TV (Rhinelander/Wausau, Wisconsin), a television station and NBC affiliate which signed-on in 1966 and was originally owned by Alvin E. O'Konski. The station was off air from 1968 to 1969 due to an airplane accident that damaged the tower. In the 1970s the station was sold to a minority-owned company thus becoming the first VHF commercial television to be owned by minority interests. In 1986, the station call letters were changed to WJFW-TV to honor Jasper Williams, the CEO of the company that owned the station who was killed in a plane crash in 1984. The collection includes approximately 65,000 feet of color, 16 mm, sound and silent motion picture film which is for the most part identified by date. There are 38 reels of film that are undated but do have some subject description. Finally there are 19 reels of film that contain complete and incomplete special features and programs with titles such as Kaleidoscope, Mole Lake special, snowmobiling, Tower Paper Mill, and Hodag.
