BROADCAST DESCRIPTION

DOMINION ARRANGEMENTS A two-hour description of the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten will be broadcast from nine New Zealand stations on the night of November 20 and the morning of November 21. The broadcast, which will be transmitted by all the YA stations, all the ZB stations, and Station 2ZA, Palmerston North, will start at 11 p.m. (New Zealand time) and continue until 1 a.m. It is expected that the ceremony will be completed *in this time. For the benefit of those who do not wish to listen to the broadcast at such a late hour, the National Broadcasting Service has made arrangements for a 60-minute summary to be broadcast on November 21 from the main national stations between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. The stations which will broadcast the summary will be all the YA stations, 2YH, Napier, 3ZR, Greymouth and 4YZ, Invercargill. This broadcast will give a condensed version of the wedding ceremony, and will also include excerpts from 8.8. C. recordings made before the wedding. On November 18 the main national stations will present, between 7.30 p.m. and 8 p.m., a 8.8. C. programme entitled “ Royal Wedding.”
