Did You Know Music Streaming Has Roots in Pittsburgh? | Pittsburgh Magazine Dotti White oversaw Telephone Music Service, which streamed music into Pittsburgh bars long before the days of the Internet.

Related: this is a piece I wrote about Pittsburgh’s unique Telephone Music business that essentially operated as an analog streaming service via a small network of ancient telephone-connected jukeboxes around the city.

In a digital world, Pittsburgh is an analog paradise At places like Galaxie Electronics and Bernie's Photo Center, young people are relearning the joys of vinyl, film, and slowing down.

I’ve seen several video store nostalgia posts on various socials today, so I thought I’d recirculate a piece that I wrote this winter about analog media lovers in Pittsburgh.
