FIRST TELEVISION STATION
What is declared to be the first broadcasting station ever built strictly £or the sending of television is now being erected about five miles north of New York by C. Francis Jenkins, inventor. The new station, which, it is thought, will be ready for operation early in the spring, is one of a series to be constructed. Locations of the other stations have not been selected. “Tt is our purpose to set up television broadcasting stations of adequate power for the territory served,”
said Mr. Jenkins recently. “To these stations motion picture stories will be distributed for broadcast over the territory served by each particular station. “Radio receivers for the home will be distributed for the reception of this new type of entertainment in the home. Receivers will reproduce pictures amply large enough to entertain the entire family, and friends of the family. Although the price of the instrument has not been definitely fixed., it is proposed to make it so reasonable as to insure a picture entertainment service to the greatest number of homes.”
