HEARING LONDON.
ON A TWO-VALVE SET. EMPIRE BROADCASTING. London, Aug. b. “Offers to broadcast gratuitously are pouring in from everywhere in the country,” says Mr Marcuse. It is now certain that the best talent m England will be available. First-class orchestra, dance band, theatricals and music hall players are offering freely. Talks and plays will be included. The Post Office has provisionally sanctioned going on with the arrangements. He has established his own studio at Caterham. The short wave length will be approximately 30 metres, the power being derived from the ordin ary domestic electricity main. The programmes will be six in the evening in London (received in New Zealand at 5.30 in the morning). He is prepared to carry on for a year at his own expense to provide data for an official scheme. He anicipates that residents in the backblocks in the dominions will hear London on an ordinary two-valve set. He wants to give Britons overseas a “bit of old England” and is sure the scheme is feasible.—(A. and N.Z.)
