TV & CATV Journal from the early 60s

TV & Communications

"DXing Horizons" began in 1960 focusing on distant TV reception. It morphed into "TV Horizons", and branched into CATV. By 1963 it became "Video Communications" and was fully dedicated to cable TV and related fields.
TV & Communications was formed in 1964 after the offices of "Video Communication Journal", the only magazine in the CATV field, burnt in a fire. There was no insurance coverage so the magazine was unable to continue. However, with the encouragement and generous assistance of several equipment manufacturers, a number of former "VCJ" staff members were able to initiate a new monthly publication to fill the void by creating TV & Communications to serve the television interconnection industry.

The period of the 60's and 70's was prior to the beginning of modern cable television. CATV grew from simply a way of getting distant signals to unserved markets to a whole new system for the distribution of original cable-only programming
