[BC] Weirdo dials /was/ ABC Network in the wired days

[Gary Peterson]

As late as 1966 or 1967, I remember playing commercials on ETs for beer,
movies, cigarettes, softdrinks, car companies, etc. that were not supposed
to be dubbed to cart.  It indicated that on the label.  I guess the ad
agencies felt there was a noticable loss of quality if carted.

" That late? 1976. By 1964, or before, we were using Carts and reel-to-reel
tape. A few commercials and public service announcements came in on disc of
some kind.

using a cold stylus.)
