Microwave or coaxial cable?<\/p>\n<p>Turns out it was usually coaxial cable. The one exception was NBC&#8217;s Uptown Studio at 106th Street. Most of the other theaters, like the Hudson and Ziegfeld were low rise buildings near Broadway and didn&#8217;t have clear paths so they were all coax. The Uptown though was 11 stories and did have a clear path.<\/p>\n<p>The Uptown had dual capacity and relied mostly on the coax, but since so much programing was coming from there, the engineers felt that it would be good to have a microwave back up, just in case.<\/p>\n<p>CBS and ABC also used coaxial cable to link their many remote studios back to master control. Thanks to Gady Reinhold at CBS for the answer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/189359747768249\/photos\/a.197108410326716.39183.189359747768249\/688267701210782\/?type=3\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp_automatic_fb_img\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.eyesofageneration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Answer-To-An-Interesting-Question...-A-while-back-someone-asked-me-how-the-sig\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/189359747768249\/photos\/a.197108410326716.39183.189359747768249\/688267701210782\/?type=3\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp_automatic_fb_img\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.eyesofageneration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/1477218227_177_Answer-To-An-Interesting-Question...-A-while-back-someone-asked-me-how-the-sig\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/189359747768249\/photos\/a.197108410326716.39183.189359747768249\/688267701210782\/?type=3\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp_automatic_fb_img\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.eyesofageneration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/1477218228_432_Answer-To-An-Interesting-Question...-A-while-back-someone-asked-me-how-the-sig\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/189359747768249\/posts\/688272637876955\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Answer To An Interesting Question&#8230; A while back, someone asked me how the signals from NBC&#8217;s many studios around NYC got back to 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
