itJUJULUj 1920 1952 NEW FRONT PORCH OF THE NATION Television has brought campaigning a long way from 1920, when candidates campaigned from the front porch of their homes. Today, presidential candidates simply step before the television cameras and^ are seen and heard by many millions of people. The first intercity network television broadcast using today's methods took place between New York and Philadelphia, only seven years ago. In the relatively short period since then, the Bell System has expanded its television network from coast to coast ... so that 99% of the country's television sets can receive the same program at the same time. Such development, at such a pace, requires great investments of effort, ingenuity and money. Radio-relay and coaxial cable routes have to be built. Special equipment has to be designed, and special personnel trained to install, maintain and operate it. Yet the cost of the service is low. Bell System charges, for use of its intercity network facilities, average about 10 cents a mile for a half hour. BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM BROADCASTING • Telecasting October 13, 1952 * Page S5
