In broadcast engineering, a remote broadcast (usually just called a remote or a live remote) is broadcasting done from a location away from a formal television studio and is considered an electronic field production (EFP). A remote pickup unit (RPU) is usually used to transmit the audio and/or video back to the television station, where it joins the normal airchain. Other methods include satellite trucks, production trucks and even regular telephone lines if necessary.
The Weel Mobile was a converted bread delivery truck used for remotes by Northern Virgina radio station WEEL, Fairfax. A 1960 photo by RACampbell a weekend DJ.
