Worlds Smallest TV Station from back in 1959

Back in 1959 a small garage was rented and a DIY television studio was born. The TV station was called PJ-TV because they were located in Port Jervis. They were broadcasting to its viewers instead of using the airwaves. Seems that things have come full circle, all of the big networks are turning to IP TV for a large portion of their offering and other initiatives such as TWIT and Revision 3 are solely internet based and entering the viewers homes on wires.

The 19 by 20 garage reminds me of the TWIT cottage a bit, they have recently expanded their staff and have taken over more rooms in the cottage so it’s now larger than the 380 sq foot PJ-TV garage though. For a look at the tour of the TWIT cottage that Mostly Lisa (Lisa Bettany) recorded have a look at the bottom of this article.

One day Hacked Gadgets will need to do a road trip and visit Leo Laporte at TWIT and Kevin Rose at Revision 3!
