This expanded service contrasts dramatically with the present re* gional allocations. The 108 operat* ing VHP stations are shared by only 65 cities. New York City has six of these and Los Angeles has seven. Chicago and Washington, D.C. have four stations. Three sta* tior cities are Atlanta, Ga.; Baltimore, Md.; Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland, O.; Detroit, Mich.; Philadelphia, Pa.; and San Fran* cisco, Calif. Two station cities are Birmingham, Ala.; Boston, Mass.; Dallas, Tex.; Dayton, O.; Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.; Omaha, Neb.; Salt Lake City, Utah; San Antonio, Tex.; and Syracuse, N.Y.

But the cables and the . radio, relay towers are today pushing steadily into new areas. In 1951, a chain of lofty microwave towers which relay video signals with splitsecond precision was completed from coast-to-coast. Coaxial cables are spreading through the south — from Kansas City to Wichita, to Dallas, San Antonio and Houston.
