Differences Between Mizlou and "The Big Three"
The network was not a full-time network like NBC, ABC or CBS. Rather, it produced sports and entertainment television shows and offered it to an "ad hoc" set of affiliates set up on an event by event basis. It was seen on affiliates of all three networks, and independent television stations and cable channels as well.
In an era long before satellite distribution of television signals, Mizlou utilized the AT&T system capable of distribution of signals to television stations on a nationwide basis in that era, via a nationwide system of land lines and microwave facilities. Mizlou produced the first "live" coast to coast satellite feed, a New York Cosmos soccer game from San Jose, CA to WOR-TV in New York in the late '70s.

Famous quotes containing the words differences between, differences and/or big:
“The mother must teach her son how to respect and follow the rules. She must teach him how to compete successfully with the other boys. And she must teach him how to find a woman to take care of him and finish the job she began of training him how to live in a family. But no matter how good a job a woman does in teaching a boy how to be a man, he knows that she is not the real thing, and so he tends to exaggerate the differences between men and women that she embodies.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“Quintilian [educational writer in Rome about A.D. 100] hoped that teachers would be sensitive to individual differences of temperament and ability. . . . Beating, he thought, was usually unnecessary. A teacher who had made the effort to understand his pupil’s individual needs and character could probably dispense with it: “I will content myself with saying that children are helpless and easily victimized, and that therefore no one should be given unlimited power over them.””
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“The big blue eyes are shut which saw wrong clothing
And favourite fields and coverts from a horse;”
—Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
