Go tell that guy I need about a three-second spill.'"

With a dad nicknamed Fearless Freddie who worked in and around the grain elevators throughout his life, Joel and Bruce Carter were indoctrinated into Buffalo's grain culture as kids. They both went on to work in the flour mill themselves, but an industrial accident in the mill sidelined their father and put an end to the family's flour milling days. Bruce Carter and his brother Joel were interviewed in early 2020 by Kate Kaye.

NOTE: This story involves graphic injury descriptions and features detailed descriptions of flour mill jobs and equipment including the “man-lift.”]]> Kaye, Kate]]> https://redtailmedia.org/spilling-grain/]]> Carter, Bruce]]> Carter, Joel]]> Grosvenor Room of B&ECPL (repository)]]> eng]]> Postcards--New York (State)--Buffalo.]]> Buffalo (N.Y.)--Buildings, structures, etc.]]> Photographic postcards.]]> Athletic clubs--North America.]]> Buffalo (N.Y.)--Societies and clubs.]]> ENG]]> Television journalists]]> Television broadcasting of news]]>
While the first Buffalo viewers of television in 1948 may have thought the images miraculously appeared on their small screens at home, it took a coordinated effort of technicians, directors, set designers, audio and film engineers, station support personnel, and many others who worked behind the scenes, to put programs on the air.

While their expertise, for the most part, was technical in nature, some possessed incredible artistic talents worthy of the public spotlight. In this series of reports by WIVB-TV'ss Rich Newberg and Jacquie Walker, these broadcasting pioneers are recognized for their contributions to the Buffalo television industry.
