New Air Wonder Put on Practical Basis By 8.8. C.
ELEVISION broadcasts \LOj the British Broadcasting Company’s stations outside regular programme
hours, while a new service is also to be started soon from Brussels. The arrangement with the 8.8. C. follows long negotiations. Some months ago Bairds declined an offer of three 15-minute periods a week, and the new offer which the
company lias now accepted was made as the result of mediation by the Post Office. This provides for five halfhour periods of television broadcasting weekly. Captain O. G. Hutchinson, of the Baird Company, says that the broadcasts arranged from 8.8. C. stations will be experimental, and a necessary preliminary to regular broadcasts. Certain of Success “We are sure of success,” he adds. “We had had very good reception from our own transmitter, even in places so far away as America. The date when broadcasts will start, and the hours of the transmissions, have not yet been arranged.” Definite agreement has been reached for nightly transmissions of television from the Brussels station. These will start as soon as the necessary apparatus can be installed.
