It could be a possibility.

Seems logical assumption since they had to use videotape often and RCA prolly made them not mention it

The posts are correct... WGN had Ampex 2000's. (They also had an HS 200 for commercial production.)

Though at the time of the 1961 article, WGN presumably would've had VR-1000's and/or 1100's (the 2000 wasn't introduced until 1964).
