Thanks for posting that. Makes me wonder if any stations in the U.S. went on air with vidicon studio cameras.
I have seen plenty of vidicon film chains used in Chicago in past years, but no vidicon studio use I can recall.
Reminds me of a UHF station in Chicago that went on the air as an all-day stock market ticker / business report. I believe when they first went to color it was with a hand-me-down TK-41 from WGN. That camera was trained on the announcer so steadily, I often thought they could turn off the lights and run on the burned-in image.
These days, as a digital station, they are running multiple subchannels of sitcoms, etc.
