L1IH1H TRADE NEWS ■■T September 16, 1957 FIRST PERMANENT OVERSEAS TV LINK NOW IN EFFECT WITH NBC ‘CAVALCADE OF SPORTS' FIGHT RELAY TO CUBA The first permanent overseas television link went into action Friday, Sept. 13 when the NBC-TV Gillette CAVALCADE OF SPORTS was relayed to Cuba, where it was carried by the CMBF-TV network. The sports event was a middleweight bout originating in the Syracuse (N.Y.) War Memorial Auditorium between Randy Sandy of New York, and Franz Szuzina, of Bremen, Germany with Szuzina getting the decision. The program, a Friday-evening series on the NBC schedule, is sponsored by the Gillette Safety Razor Company. The second "Cavalcade of Sports" fight that Cuban boxing fans will see will be the light-heavyweight championship bout between titleholder Archie Moore and challenger Tony Anthony on Friday, Sept, 20. The historic link-up between the United States and Cuba was made via a 180-mile "scatter" communications relay developed jointly by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and the International Telephone and Telegraph Company. The "scatter" system permits over-the-horizon wireless transmission of TV programs. (more ) PRESS DEPARTMENT, NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMPANY, 30 ROCKEFELLER PLAZA, NEW YORK 20, NEW YORK
