MILWAUKEE — National acclaim came to WTMJ-TV last week from baseball fans who liked the unusual camera angles in the station's coverage of the World Series games in Milwaukee. Most comment dealt with the shots from a telephoto lens 25 feet above the ground beyond the centerfield fence. The intimate look at pitcher and catcher gave the illusion that the viewer was standing in the middle of the diamond. It showed the dip, curve and hop as the ball crossed the plate. A ground-level camera in the stands almost directly behind home plate gave unusual shots.
Phil Laeser, radio-tv engineering manager, directed technical operations and a crew of 24 engineers was at the stadium for game telecasts. WTMJ-TV presented a number of special features, as did WTMJ radio, under the direction of Donald Loose and Sprague Vonier, respective WTMJ and WTMJ-TV program managers. The Milwaukee celebrating, after the final game, provided some of the livest programming in the city's history.
