CBS Kinescope 16mm Films The first and most primitive method for recording television programmes, a “Kinescope”, was a film made of a live television broadcast. Kinescopes were usually created by placing a motion picture camera in front of a monitor and filming the image off the screen while the program was being aired. This recording method came into wide use around 1947 before video recording was invented in the early 1950’s. This process was the standard industry method of creating a permanent record for rebroadcast. The picture quality created by Kinescopes was admittedly and understandably poor – they appeared grainy, fuzzy, even distorted – yet they were the only method for documentation available to Stations and Producers at the time. Though their poor picture quality prohibited extensive use, many programmes were rebroadcast from Kinescopes in order to save money, allow them to be rebroadcast at a different time or more frequently to expose the programmes to wider audiences. Cities and locals outside an antennas reach and without a wire or a cable connection, had no way of seeing programming produced and broadcast from New York City, which constituted the majority of television broadcasts at the time. In order for a programme to be seen in outlying areas, either beyond the city limits of elsewhere in the country, Kinescope films were shipped from station to station in a practice know as “bicycling”. For many stations the airing of Kinescopes despite the very poor picture quality, was the necessary way to fill the programming day. Surviving Kinescopes are the only historical record of actual early television programmes.
