Abstract: It has been slightly more than one year since all of the film newsgathering equipment at Station KMOX-TV in St. Louis was removed and replaced with electronic newsgathering equipment. The conversion has permitted news crews to provide both live and recorded coverage of news events with an immediacy that was not possible before. Live coverage can be achieved by relaying the video signal from the cameras to a support vehicle either by cable or by 13-GHz microwave; from there it goes by 2-GHz microwave to an unmanned relay station which beams it to the News Center as a 7-GHz signal. Both field and studio facilities are described in detail, and specific numerical comparisons are given to show how well the new system has achieved its design objectives: improved immediacy, improved productivity (more stories in the important period late in the day), and substantial reduction of overall operating costs.
