Postwar Television

1946-49 Antennas

After the war, stations broadcast with higher power, but until the mid 50s there were many areas of the country with poor television service. Large outdoor antennas were often needed.

Early Philco Antenna

This antenna is cut for channel 3. It appears in a 1946 Philco publication, "The Servicing of Television Receivers", which contains mostly information on and pictures from TV sets made before World War Two. This antenna could have been made before, during, or immediately after the war. It was donated to the museum by Chuck Azzalina.
