TELEVISION WAVELENGHTS

Official recognition of televisiou’s place in the broadcast band was given by the United States Radio Commission with the announcement that thie band between 1500 and 2000 kilocycles (150 to 200 metres), now practically abandoned by the amateurs, would be utilised for broadcasting and further experimentation with ‘radio sight" instead of hearing. This band, with more than half as many channels as the whole broadcast range, indicates the importance assigned by the commission to the new developments. Another dictum of some interest was an official interview stating that the commission will recognise the right of local authorities to regulate stations, prescribe hours, prohibit excessive broadcasting power in congested distriets, etc.
