- "Texas Campaign '82 is a series of debate specials focusing on the candidates and issues of importance to Texas voters. The production consisted of three two-hour live broadcast to all the public broadcasting stations in Texas. The first program examined the candidates running for governor, lieutenant governor, and treasurer. The second program looks at the candidates for U.S. Senator and attorney general. The third statewide special looks at the candidates for railroad commissioner, land office commissioner, agricultural commissioner and comptroller and the constitutional amendments. The production also features two live local programs dealing with Dallas and Tarrant County races. The cassette submitted is a copy of the one-[hour]-long special examining the state commissioners and the comptroller."--1982 Peabody Awards entry form.
