B.B.C. BROADCASTS
LARGE EUROPEAN AUDIENCE
RUGBY, February 17. The development of British broadcasting during the war was desciibed in the Commons, on the vote for .£ 1,300,000 to the 8.8. C., in addition to £5,600,000 already voted. The number of languages used had increased from ten in 1939 to 41 by the end of 1941. The hours of overseas news bulletins had risen from 44 weekly to 231. . The Corporation now broadcasts 9/ overseas news bulletins daily. There is a mass of evidence that, despite the heavy penalties for listening in and the efforts of the Germans to prevent it, the broadcasts are being listened to by increasingly-large numbers throughout Europe. The programmes are becoming more and more specialised, and directed to particular countries.
