Fancy Remote Setup Isn’t It?
In the late 50s, ‘Queen For A Day’ would occasionally take the show on the road. When they did, the local NBC stations supplied the equipment and crews. This photo is from KPRC in Houston where a week of shows came from City Auditorium.
Bill, I came to KPRC in May of 61, the remote must have happned before that
Bill, the remote must have happened before I came to work at KPRC in May of 61
I was at the station in ’61, it must have been before May when I started.
Bill, dont you mean that it took place in 1951? I came to work at KPRC in May of 61, so the remote must have happned before then.
Those round CRTs must have had an early integral Implosion protection system 😉
so much tweaking required!
Mark Gulbrandsen, there was always trouble, lots and lots of trouble.
I remember the 1960-64 run. Never knew it was on NBC.
Note the many spare vacuum tube boxes lower right! Must have been troubles…
This remote took place in 1961.
That’s Charlie Hunt tweaking the cameras. Charlie started at KPRC-TV in 1949, when it was still KLEE-TV. Though retired, Charlie’s still with us. I saw him last Saturday.
KPRC is and was NBC. KTRK Was and is the ABC affiliate (now an O&O)
Now that’s a “de-rig” but hardly a “fly-away”!
