Master Video Triple Play 1953

• DYK - The First Master Video Brochure was in 1953 and featured the all-new “Triple Play,” in conjunction with CBS, with Television, Radio, and Background Music/PA System.

Why Master Video Triple Play?

Did You Know; The first Master Video Systems (MVS) brochure in 1953, featured the all-new “Triple Play,” in conjunction with CBS, with a television/radio in-room system for the hotel industry. MVS Triple Play included a giant 21” B&W TV-Picture, an AM-FM Radio, and Background Music with a Public Address system, all contained in one single cabinet, with one simple control. Hotel Guests with Triple Play TVs experienced the first “Pay-For-View TV… and the rest is history!

"America’s Largest Hotel-TV Organization, Master Video Systems, and America’s Television/Radio Leader, CBS, combined to present the most spectacular development in Hotel Guest Entertainment!" (1953)

First Hotel Televisions Early 1950s

• DYK - The first Hotel Television Systems were installed in the early 1950s by hotel magnate, Conrad Hilton, in the Waldorf Astoria, the Plaza, and Roosevelt Hotel.

Why Master Video?

Did You Know; The first Hotel Television Systems were installed in the 1950s in fine New York hotels owned by Conrad Hilton, including The Waldorf Astoria, The Plaza, and The Roosevelt Hotel, where Hilton called the Presidential Suite, "Home", in the “Grand Dame of Madison Avenue.” Master Video was there in the beginning at the Waldorf-Astoria, to install, service, and support the new "Hotelevision," nearly 70 years ago!

Installing televisions in hotel guestrooms was an incredible industry first, quickly replacing hotel radios to the delight of hotel guests, who could now watch local New York TV station's early over-air broadcasted programs for an extra $3 a day; the birth of "Paid TV."

In the early 1950s, Master Video installed, serviced, and maintained the first multi-purpose television system in New York's Waldorf-Astoria.
