This enabled those affiliates to all carry network programming "live" at the same time. There were, however, a handful of small-market TV stations that were not able to be connected via Long Lines due to their remote geographic location. In some cases, network shows were recorded (either as a kinescope or, starting in the late 1950s and early 1960s, on videotape) and sent to the station via mail or courier, to be aired on a delayed basis (usually a one-week delay).
