Mechanical Broadcast Programmes

Specially Recorded SEV BRAL American organisations are now providing special broadcast programmes which are recorded on gramophone records: or on sound films. As a result of recent improvements made in recording and reproducing apparatus, the main objection to the use of mechanical entertainment devices by broadcasting stations is largely obviated. In fact, it is reported that some of these new programme records are far superior, from the point of view of loud-speaker reproduction, to programmes provided by less mechanical put greatly inferior entertainers. It is very likely that just as at the present motion-picture films are circulated among theatres all over the world, so within a few years specially recorded broadcast programmes will be passed on from station to station: and the frequent appearance of artists in person will be unknown.
