President Johnson liked to keep tabs on the news, so he had three televisions installed in the Oval Office to be able to watch all three channels of the day (ABC, CBS, NBC) at the same time. The remote on the left controlled the televisions. On the right, next to his desk, was a cabinet of ticker tape machines that reported the news immediately from the Associated Press and Reuters.
