Metropolitan Opera Doesn't Fear TV
("The Washington Post")
There Is no reason to suppose that the pleasure of those present was marred in any way by knowledge that the evening1 s per¬ formance of "Don Carlo" was visible to more than four million tele¬ vision-set-owners if they chose to tune their instruments to it. It seems unlikely, indeed, that attendance at the Met will be diminished by television even on ordinary evenings; attendance still carries a certain cachet for the boxholders, who have subscribed this season with more than usual generosity, and a certain special satisfaction for all who are seated less conspicuously. This is not the first year that performances at the Metropolitan have been televised; but it Is the first year they have been televised on a nine-station hook¬ up with so large an audience capable of seeing them; and on Monday no fewer than 12 television cameras, one of them located close-up in the orchestra, were trained on the stage.

Dayton G-et s Long-Range TV Programs (Bernie Harrison, "Washington Times-Herald" )

Radio engineers advanced two explanations for the extended
coverage :
a. Television waves were being reflected against the heaviside layer in the atmosphere.
b. The waves, which usually travel on the line of sight and don't curve, were bent or refracted.
