Television Production Techniques with Video-Tape Recording
Commercial Television was introduced to Canadian viewers in September, 1952. Less than six years later, in June, 1958, seven Ampex video-tape recorders were installed at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's delay center, and kinescopes were replaced by live tape recordings - solving the time-zone scheduling problems that had plagued advertising agencies for years. As video-tape recorders became more readily available, CBC and independent stations began installation as a means of recording programs for future transmission. In Canada today, 40 television stations are equipped with either Ampex or RCA video-tape recorders. Over 100 machines are now in use.
