TELEVISION LICENSE GRANTED COLUMBIA
The Columbia Broadcasting System is to be permitted to experiment with television despite the adverse recommendation of Examiner Elmer W. Pratt. The Federal Radio Commission this week granted the application of its subsidiary, the Atlantic Broadcast¬ ing Corporation, to erect a station in New York City. It will operate with 500 watts power.
The following statement was given out by Columbia:
’’Entrance of the Columbia Broadcasting System into the field of experimental television was assured when the Federal Radio Commission granted the application of the Atlantic Broadcasting Corporation, owner of Station WABC, New York, and a subsidiary of the Columbia System,
"An experimental television transmitter is being installed by the Atlantic Broadcasting Corporation at 485 Madison Avenue, New York, in the Columbia Broadcasting System building. The antenna will be on the roof of this 24— story building. To make room for the television transmitter and studio, as well as to accommodate other extension of radio activity, an entire additional floor of space is being taken.
"Experimental transmission of images will be inaugurated soon after the first of the year. The transmitter will operate on 2750-2850 kilocycles with a power of 500 watts. The Columbia System’s experimental work will relate principally to production of acts for television, to transmission from studio to the public and to other problems which need to be solved before television may be said to be wholly practical."
