John Glenn orbits Earth as the Cuban Missile Crisis dominates global headlines.
1962 as a channel is heavy on music videos, movies and TV, and commercials. The clips were chosen by a human reading old TV schedules, old chart positions, and old release calendars. The shuffle is blind. The library is not. Nothing reaches the screen that did not actually exist in 1962.

About the curation
The rule for 1962 is simple: every clip has to be a single thing that happened in 1962. A live broadcast, a released movie scene, an aired commercial, a news segment, a charting performance, a game moment. No "best of the 1960s" lists. No retrospectives. No reactions. Suggestions and removals go to hello@timesurf.tv, and the full filter is documented on the About page.
