10”, 15" and 20". I have in my office a very attractive and very efficient table model receiver with 10-inch tube and the price is $350. Early in 1947 projection-type sets will be marketed giving an even larger size screen I think they’re 16 x 22 inches.
"Most television stations will be on the air 28 hours or more per week. This will be a guarantee to set buyers that they will see a considerable number of programs from the day their first receiver is purchased. Generally speaking, each station and again there will be four in Washington will average about four hours a day in this early period, principally evening hours. "
"I want to emphasize that television is a new art. It’s not the movies nor the radio nor the stage. It is something com¬ pletely new and different, not a device to compete with what has gone before, but a marvelous invention capable of far more. Tele¬ vision has qualities of immediacy and intimacy. Some of you may have seen NBC’s telecast of the Louis-Conn fight, the Louis-Mauriello or Zale-G-razziano fights, or some of the football games which are a part of our New York station's programming each week. If so, you know wnat I mean. You had the experience of seeing the event as it happened. No other medium can take you to the scene of instantaneous action the finish line of a race track, the front ranks of a crowd watching a parade, the speaker's rostrum of a national political convention, or seat you in the best box at a Broadway show. I’m not speaking of the future. All these events and many, many more have been part of our regular programming in New York. "

"AMERICAN FORUM OF THE AIR" POLLS ITS LISTENERS
A phone poll of listener’s opinions on the current topic was inaugurated by WOR-Mutual's "American Forum of the Air" start¬ ing with the broadcast of Tuesday, November 26th.
In designated key cities, listeners were invited to voice their opinions on the subject under debate on the forum by calling their local MBS station during the broadcasts. A staff of expert operators and tabulators from the SullivanRay hawk Independent Research Agency handled the calls and just before the "Forum" went off the air a lightning tabulation of the listeners' views was announced.
Extra phone lines and operators were added at stations in cities being polled. By means of the set-up, Mutual expects to pre¬ sent a cross-section of the nation's opinion on each Forum topic.
Last night's broadcast discussed "Should American Labor Have a Closed Shop?"
