NBCRCA TO RESUME TELEVISION TESTS
Resumption of experimental television broadcasts in the New York City area, beginning next Tuesday (August 25) and extend¬ ing over a four-week period, was announced jointly by the National Broadcasting Company and the Radio Corporation of America. The weekly schedule will comprise six one-hour transmission.
As in the previous test period concluded this Spring, the broadcasts will be divided into two series. Film and live entertainment programs will be broadcast twice weekly, on Tues¬ days and Fridays from 8 to approximately 9 P.M. , from the NBC experimental studios at Radio City. Test charts and still pic¬ tures, of no entertainment value but of great assistance to experimenters, wall be transmitted on four afternoons a week, Tuesdays through Fridays between 5 and 4 o* clock. All broad¬ casts will be made over the NBC transmitter, W2XBS, in the Empire State Tower, operating on 46.5 megacycles for picture signals and 49.75 megacycles for associated sound,
0. B. Hanson, NBC Vice-President and Chief Engineer, pointed out that considerable improvement had been made in picture definition and that an increase in the power of the transmitter had been effected through the installation of new/ exciter stages. The range of the station will remain the same, approximately 50 miles. Satisfactory images in the past have been received as far distant as Hartford, Conn.
