A CITY WITHIN A CITY
(Special to "The Listener" from the American Office of War Information) OUPLING latest scientific advances with vast facilities for every conceivable type of radio broadcast, the National Broadcasting Company’s headquarters in New York City form virtually a "city within a city." The network’s nerve-centre is the Radio City, a skyscraper development; like its privately-owned competitors, the Columbia Broadcasting System and the Mutual Broadcasting System, NBC broadcasts through a chain of. nation-wide outlets. American radio networks are equipped for complete coverage of the United States. Mobile units are ready to pick up broadcasts at any point. News studios relay the latest events over the air without delay. Concert halls are specially equipped for radio. Drama, sports, the arts, and economic and financial interests receive their full share of attention. In the NBC offices in Néw York there are 32 separate studios. One of them--the famous Studio 8-H — is used for orchestral broadcasts. The room _ is acoustically perfect and architectually delightful. Other facilities include stage sets, with recording for all sounds that accompany dramas: rainstorms, war noises, horses’ hoof beats — all can be reproduced accurately. Visitors to NBC are taken on expertly guided tours which show them every interesting feature of radio broadcasting. Audiences crowd the studios to watch broadcasts, and_ tickets are generously distributed to. men of the United Nations’ forces.
