Great photo of the state of the art television. Probably three TV networks NBC,CBS and later ABC within 100 miles that began at 6pm and ended with the national anthem at midnight.
ABC had fewer cities with coverage than the other two. Our first TV was a little later version-—not round.

I was a tot with Howdy Doody, Captain Kangaroo, Ernie Kovacs, Milton Berle and Jackie Gleason. Watched the 1952 and 1956 national political conventions avidly, sitting on the carpet in front. Loved politics from the beginning.
