CHRISTMAS MESSAGE.
KING’S SFECIAL BROADCAST. Received November 25, 12.30 p.m. LONDON, Nov. 24. His Majesty the King will broadcast a Christmas message to the Empire on December 25. The message will be transmitted to the Empire station. This will be His Majesty’s first direct broadcast to his people. Hitherto, only speeches at official functions have been wirelessed. The King will probably broadcast from his study at Sandringham where Their Majesties will spend Christmas. A special microphone is being installed. . The differences in time will he overcome by the use of the blattnerphone which records the words and enables the message to follow the sun, so that listeners in every country will receive it at the same hour by the clock. Altogether the message will he relayed by about 1000 stations in the Empire alone, a.nd probably also by stations in the United States and South America.
