Today in Music? History - It's.....
1970: The Public Broadcasting Service officially went on the air, beginning its mission to provide educational, cultural, and high-quality non-commercial programming to American households.
In a related note, a year earlier 1969, the BBC aired the very first episode of the iconic British surreal sketch comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus. Which I watched on PBS as a kid.
The name "Monty Python" didn't mean anything. The group came up with it when they were commissioned by the BBC for their television series, thinking it sounded like a sleazy theatrical agent.
