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)
“The country is fed up with children and their problems. For the first time in history, the differences in outlook between people raising children and those who are not are beginning to assume some political significance. This difference is already a part of the conflicts in local school politics. It may spread to other levels of government. Society has less time for the concerns of those who raise the young or try to teach them.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“The world and life’s too big to pass for a dream,”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
