ABSTRACT
On April 20, 1939, David Sarnoff of RCA introduced television from the field to the few viewers of an experimental television broadcast system. He took a camera to the World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows, NY, and relayed the signal to a New York City transmitter for reception of the broadcast by television sets in department store windows. From this humble beginning, television production originating outside the studio, or a remote as it is known, has become a staple of programming produced by broadcast and cable networks and television stations throughout the world.
