1961 on TV
577 curated clips across 5 categories.
Yuri Gagarin orbits Earth, the Berlin Wall rises, and Breakfast at Tiffany's arrives.
Pull up the 1961 channel and you get music videos, movies and TV, and commercials, more or less in that order of weight. No recommendation feed is doing the picking. The catalog stops at the edges of 1961 and the player just flips through it, the way a remote used to flip through a cable box at the end of a long day.

About the curation
Each entry on this channel is a single original artifact from 1961 itself: an aired broadcast, a released scene, a charting performance, a real commercial, an actual news segment. Nothing on it is a YouTube retrospective, a 1960s countdown, or a reaction track. For additions, corrections, or takedowns, write hello@timesurf.tv. The full rule set lives on the About page.
