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.

“What strikes many twin researchers now is not how much identical twins are alike, but rather how different they are, given the same genetic makeup....Multiples don’t walk around in lockstep, talking in unison, thinking identical thoughts.

—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
