IMPROVE EMPIRE RADIO SERVICES.
8.8.C. INTENTION. Extension of Broadcasting Hours Considered. SHORT-WAVE DEVELOPMENT. United Press Association. —Copyright. (Received 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, March 10. Questioned by the Australian Associated Press, the Post Office Public Relations Officer, Sir Stephen Tallents, said the British Broadcasting Corporation entirely agreed that it should develop Empire transmissions. The corporation was considering schemes whereby the broadcasting hours to the Dominions would be extended, and was also paying attention to developing the engineering side and enabling clearer reception. The committee's recommendation that the corporation should receive a larger portion of the licence revenue would be a most helpful development in improvement of Empire transmissions. Corporation officials said there was reason to expect an improvement in reception in the future. Short-wave transmission was approaching a good "11-year cycle." No doubt by the time of the next bad cycle, experts would have overcome all the difficulties from which Australia has particularly suffered. Improvement in programmes was at present receiving the closest attention.
