The introduction of film recording, or kinescoping, to give it what seems to have been accepted as its standard name, has changed this condition considerably. The mechanics of kinescoping were discussed in an earlier chapter; therefore, this one is devoted to considerations of its effects on, and use in, television. Probably the first use which comes to mind is that of extending network television service to those areas which the coaxial network lines or high-frequency radio relay links do not presently serve. A map of the United States showing existing radio relays and coaxial cable services appears in Figure 19-1. Also shown are projected ex- tensions by the end of 1950. Even with the tremendous activity that is taking place in this field, it is very obvious that it will be many years before the whole of the country has anything like a compre- hensive service. Another factor to be considered in this connection is the fact that television station construction has slowed tremendously due to the action of the Federal Communication Commission in "freezing" new station construction and allowing only those holding construc- tion permits to construct.
