"PICTURES OVER THE RADIO?" During a live national NPR radio broadcast from the ECI in Santa Monica we broadcast the tones used by video phones when normally sending pictures over telephone lines allowing pictures to be received FM radio across the country. People who owned videophones were instructed to hold their telephone handset up to their radio speaker so that their Videophone would "hear the tones" and reproduce the picture. (Reception was confirmed by listeners sending the image back to ECI before the program ended.)
