When I first saw this, I was very curious how this could possibly happen with no coaxial cables or repeaters. The answer is in another article on this page: “1938, Where is TV Now?” The short answer is long-wave transmission, but read the other article for the inside scoop.

    The reception from the London station was filmed (as shown in photo at top of article). This film was lost for many years, but found by a UK TV enthusiast.
    I have undertaken a great deal of research on this film and have identified programmes as well as personalities featured on the screen.
    It can be seen by following this link.
