Wide World and Disneyland TV camera roll to test 1960s schedules
The Marquee notes two large TV presentations using 62 cameras total. NBC will air Wide Wide World with 40 cameras across 12 spots from New York to San Francisco and Canada to Mexico, hosted by Dave Garroway. ABC follows in July with 22 cameras for Disneyland opening, one in a helicopter. Possible weather outages risk framing, as many remotes may suffer rain or technical bugs. Hal March also enters TV as he advances new shows as Imogene Coca’s leading buffoon and a key money handler.
