Was that the station that got the three IVC/EMI 2001 cameras (don't know whether it was 4-tube "B" or 3-tube "C") that were the only ones of that particular type sold anywhere in the U.S., as per a segment on Bobby Ellerbee's excellent "Eyes of a Generation" site:

Or, to quote the line:

1970 - EMI 2001 / (total/yr.) 3 / (avg. price $K) $48.0 / (annual sales $K) $144.0

And WSNS first took to the air in 1970 . . .

Delurking for a moment, not US but if you follow the link below and scroll down you can see a 2001 in use at CTV in Canada.

These cameras were in use all over the UK but it would be interesting to know what the sales were around the rest of the world as EMI also had an agreement with Thomson to market the cameras.

No, apparently I detected an IVC/EMI insignia, plus (at the left end of the left side) a U.S. spelled "COLOR." And that's not counting the EMI 2001's use in the 1976 movie Network.

Found they used RCA tk-630. Anyone ever seen or used one? Kind of ugly.
