The Telemeter Company started out in Los Angeles in 1954. They marketed a coin to box device that could be attached to your television set that would unscamble signals sent via coaxial cable when the correct number of coins were deposited. The system came to Toronto in February 1960. Etobicoke was the test market. The main selling point was the ability to watch Leaf road games from the comfort of your couch. Back then, only Playoff road games were available on television. For the 1960-61 season, only Sunday games were available. From 1961-63, all road games were made available. Bill Hewitt did the play by play. At its peak, the system had about 5000 subscribers. The system never expanded outside of Etobicoke, and when the hockey telecasts did not return for the 1963-64 season, subscribership plummetted quickly. The system quietly disappeared in April 1965. I couldn't find any information on subscription fees. Knowing the Leafs, it wouldn't be cheap. I also remember seeing ads for Sunday night Leaf games being available via close circuit at the long since demolished College Theatre [College & Dovercourt] I don't know if these games were available at other cinemas around the city.
