142 TELEVISION: THE REVOLUTION different groups producing broadcasts for tele- vision : the movie studios, the networks, the indi- vidual radio stations, and several independent companies. This is an independent; but we often loan out our facilities to other production groups. This business is growing so fast these days that we have to help each other out. "You'll notice that our plant here is made up of fifteen different buildings—above the ground, that is. Three of these buildings are given over to administration, offices, and so forth. Over there on the left you see our film laboratory, where we edit and print the 'videofilm' which is shipped out to the stations making up the tele network. Master control is in the same building. There are two auditoriums, where the public can come to watch shows being filmed and broadcast; of course, these audiences seldom see actual shooting, except when they themselves are being televised. During most shows, we cut in an auditorium shot from time-to-time, to show the audience laughing or applauding; when possible, we bring the performers before the studio audience for a simple part of the produc- tion, or for an after-show. All the rest of the buildings on the lot are 'clover leaf stages."
