Teleprompter was the first in NYC. Owned by the folks who made TV prompters. :)First cable system anywhere was somewhere in some valley burgh in Pennsylvania. Forget the name, but anyone who cares can google it. And cable was kinda worthless UNTIL they put up those towers down by Battery park. Once those went up, everybody's reception turned to shit. Particularly north and south of the city. But it screwed up east and west almost as severely. When Empire was the only tall building in town, reception was fairly good, no need for cable. Cable started in places where the residents were down in the valleys and the hills screwed up reception. Most of the original ones were built by TV repair and sales shops in order to make the TV's on display look good. Of course, without cable, once the customers brought them home, they were lucky to get 3 or 4 channels they could actually see. Yeah, we did the public call in comedy shows back in the early 80's. Wasn't much else to watch. Heh. |
