The great advantage of longwave radio is that, well, the waves are long. The signal can bounce over obstacles like mountain ranges and travel beyond the horizon, mostly hugging the surface of the earth, and occasionally reaching even further by reflecting from the ionosphere. That means it can carry a signal huge distances, and that a single transmitter can serve a whole country, or even beyond.

The World Cup Camera Angles Edition

I watched the game before passing it on, and was surprised at how similar the camera movements and various angles of the broadcast were to contemporary football coverage. The images were black and white, with a blurrier resolution, but the broadcast view, with cutaways to closer cameras for key moments, was very similar to today's coverage. Despite 60 years of technical innovations, broadcast mode still remains the best way to watch live football.
