I am sure that I'm not the only one with a Jack LaLanne story. But here is mine.

Although I did a lot of DX from 540-1600 KHz when I lived in Burnaby in the 1960s, I only ever got one distant station on TV: Channel 2 from Portland before CBUT signed on one summer morning.

And they were playing Jack LaLanne's program. July 1968, I think it was.

I'm pretty sure KVOS in Bellingham ran Jack's show, either before or right after "Frisky Frolics{" in the late 50's early 60's.
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.
