Description
The first televised national convention was in Philadelphia in 1948.
"Television came into its own and astute observers quickly realized its power. Four networks carried the proceedings to 13 eastern seaboard states. Only a small percentage owned televisions, but owners invited friends and neighbors into their living rooms, so an estimated 10 million may have watched on TV. Six-thousand people could watch TV at the adjoining Commercial Museum on competing brands of television sets."
Take note of the President Johnson poster located in the rafters on the far left. This was stolen and placed in the temporary tent city in Flaming Park.
