Technology has evolved at a rapid pace in the last five decades, taking us along with it. To air television programs, there once was a time when VHS tapes were stacked up in the control room — but in 1974, our station received a microwave link for the transmission of programs via radio waves. Since then, PBS Western Reserve has received feeds directly via satellite and acquired programs digitally — going completely tapeless. These days, there are many ways your favorite PBS programs can reach your home, thanks to the internet.
