NEW “RADIO CITY”
REBUILDING NEW YORK NEW YORK, 11th June. They lmve started tearing down the city to build a new city in the heart of Manhattan. Four great steam shovels are biting great chunks out of the brown-stone houses, which formerly comprised the most aristocratic section of the city, to make way for a £50,000,000 raido city, sponsored by Mr John D. Rockefeller, jun. About 240 buildings, some modern, some erected in 1875 are being razed. It is expected that the demolition and construction work will occupy at least three years, by which time, it is expected, television will have reached a commercially practicable stage. The most advanced type of broadcasting equipment and studios will be included, with ample provision for television transmission, and a movie theatre and another theatre will be included in the. group of buildings. Those behind the project plan the eventual establishment of some 800 “local” broadcasting stations in the United Elates, under the aegis of Radio Git V.
