Presented by the Tennessee Archive of Moving Image and Sound and the Tennessee Theatre.
11:00 a.m. - Open House and tours of the Tennessee Theatre
11:30 a.m.- A Tribute to John Ward
TAMIS remembers broadcasting legend John Ward, beginning with a 1974 film capturing a busy day in the life of the “Voice of the Vols.” The 15-minute film follows Ward as he travels to Nashville to call a Tennessee football game, returns to Knoxville to call a Vols basketball game, records the weekly Bill Battle Show for television at the WATE studios, and conducts several radio interviews in between. We’ll also be showing an extremely rare short film made by local advertising firm Lavidge and Davis in the 1950s, featuring Ward giving a behind-the-scenes look at the firm’s studios. Rounding out the program will be vintage Vols footage, featuring clips from archival films of UT football games from the 1920s through the 1950s!
