NBC, which itself is observing its 35th anniversary this year, has enjoyed a close working relationship with the BBC since the early days of broadcasting. This association has continued with the expansion of television, and a number of NBC’s outstanding programs currently are being distributed by NBC International to the BBC.
For the past two-and-a-half years, the BBC and NBC have cooperated closely in the pioneering telecasts in England and the United States of film transmitted across the Atlantic Ocean by cable.
