Edwards pioneered several technologies for recording live television programs. When "Truth or Consequences" established a permanent presence on TV in 1950, Edwards arranged to have it be recorded on 35mm film, using multiple cameras simultaneously—the first TV program recorded before a live audience to do so. A similar process was then adapted by Desilu for "I Love Lucy" the following year. On January 22, 1957, the show, which was produced in Hollywood, became the first program to be broadcast in all time zones from a prerecorded videotape. This technology, which had only been introduced the previous year, had previously been used only for time-delayed broadcasts to the West Coast.
