"Did you hear Clinton say that in 1952, when all the other kids in the neighborhood were watching Howdy Doody, he was laying on the floor watching the "wall-to-wall" coverage of the democratic and Republican conventions?"

They might have had TV in Arkansas in 1952. It might have really happened. Wait a minute, this is BJ Clinton, so it must be a lie, right?

He's a big fat liar! By 1952 there were many TV stations. However, there were many more cities than didn't broadcast that did.
"A U. S. Television Chronology, 1875-1970", doesn't even mention Arkansas at all.

Here's the kicker:
When did radio and television come to Arkansas?
The first radio station, WOK in Pine Bluff, began broadcasting in 1921. Television station KRTV in Little Rock went on the air in 1953.
