If you looked down the path you could see a very tall, probably two or three hundred feet off the ground, TV antenna that my dad said Cablevision (now Time Warner) used to pick up some of their stations. Like I said, I was a kid, so, we are talking late '70's. Anyhow, I remember at that time, cable offered WSPA and channel 20 out of Washington DC (don't remember their call letters). Anyhow, would a tower that tall actually pick up signals that far way from Charlotte.
Yes, that's the way it was done then.
