Abstract
This paper describes the methods by which the National Broadcasting Company provided television coverage of the Democratic and Republican political conventions, for the benefit of the television audience in New York City and surrounding areas. Due to lack of television transmission facilities between Chicago and New York, portions of the Democratic Convention were recorded on film. The film was sent to the NBC film scanning studio in Radio City and presented as part of the afternoon and evening television programs. Portable television pick-up equipment was sent to Philadelphia for the purpose of televising the Republican Convention proceedings. The television signal was transmitted 104 1/2 miles between the pick-up point and the NBC television transmitter in New York City by means of the coaxial cable facilities of the Bell System.
