Contingency
Contingency is the first part of the Local 58 lore.
Plot
The episode starts with a schedule that starts the End of Broadcast day a 3am. It then cuts to words that said "THIS CONCLUDES OUR BROADCAST DAY", with "The Star Spangled Banner" playing. However, it cuts to a Contingency Message by the U.S. Department for the Preservation of American Dignity that states that America has surrendered to its enemy and its citizens are called upon to ACT. It then cuts to old footage of the United States while messages tell the viewers watching to kill themselves. It then cuts to the Local 58 card that says that the message was a hoax and that it apologizes for the inconvenience.
Triva
- The president who signed the Kinescope Broadcast was Lyndon B. Johnson.
