Links to MBC Videos

I am not sure that the links you have posted to various videos from the Museum of Broadcast Communications are authorized. (such as on the BJ & Dirty Dragon Show page, Ray Rayner Show page, et al) The MBC requires users to log in to their archives with a verified e-mail address and password in order to search for or view clips which they have provided to their members online. It says right on the MBC archives page, "A quick registration is required for access". These "MMS" links you are using, to a specific IP address and port number are not authorized links through the Museum.TV website but instead appears to be a "backdoor" way to circumvent the streaming protection set up by their security company Cleversafe. I think you should remove them and not post any more links to MBC assets unless they are officially authorized links. These direct links to videos with the Cleversafe secuirty omitted make them more vulnerable to piracy and downloading. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.125.168.2 (talk) 03:53, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Here's the link to the landing page for all the videos-it's on the Museum of Broadcast Communications' website:

http://www.museum.tv/exhibitionssection.php?page=564

Looking for a Smaller Audience - Chicago Television

http://www.museum.tv/exhibitionssection.php?page=562

Mining the Local Talent - Chicago Television

The Museum has apparently chosen to allow free viewing for certain clips in this manner. All the video links come directly from the Museum's website. We hope (talk) 04:13, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Bill Jackson (television personality). Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

• Attempted to fix sourcing for https://www.museum.tv/newssection.php?page=535
