Mantovani is an American television series which aired in NTA Film Network syndication during 1959.
It was an easy-listening musical program[1] featuring British orchestra leader Annunzio Paolo Mantovani and his 46-piece orchestra, and hosted by John Conte. Guest stars included Vic Damone, Connie Francis, Dorothy Collins,[2] Joni James, and the Hi-Los.[3]
In Newark, New Jersey, radio station WNTA simulcast the audio of the broadcast on WNTA-TV and encouraged listeners to tune in both with receivers about eight feet apart and against a wall to creat a "maximum hi-fi effect".[3]
