Whats a Quantel?
A. That’s the neat gadget that puts up graphic effects like the box that appears over the anchor’s shoulder. ABCNews literally purchased machine number one from Quantel in the 1970s and it did help the visual appeal of the program once they got past playing with all the buttons to see what they could do. Quantel devices nowadays are so sophisticated that, to judge from their web site (www.quantel.com), it is possible, using two Quantels strung together, to launch an entire Local NewsCenterWatchOnYourSide team into orbit of Callisto, which would not be a bad thing.
