Europe’s first television network will include stations in eight different countries. Microwave relays in Brit¬ ain and on the Continent soon will make it possible for the same pro¬ gram to be seen simultaneously in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, West Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland and Denmark. Each country will originate at least one program for the network during the first months of its operation. While the United States cannot join this live broadcast network at the outset, we certainly could provide film to be telecast over its facilities. Our Voice of America for some time has made available to individual European stations such information shows as Industry on Parade and This Land of Ours. Each film is accom¬ panied by a script in the language of the foreign announcer. Soon three more programs will be offered— The Voice of Firestone, The World Through Stamps and The Magic of the Atom, which describes peacetime uses of atomic energy. Commercial telecasters and film producers also are sending to indi¬ vidual stations such items as Ed Murrow’s Person to Person, Hopalong Cassidy, Dragnet and Amos V Andy. We believe that with the establish¬ ment of a network in Europe, we have an unusual opportunity to show Euro¬ peans a roundup of the best of our TV fare, not to propagandize them, but to help them understand us by understanding the things we like. It should not be too difficult for us to have an hour or two set aside for an American show. Any arrangement made should in¬ clude provision for film of European network shows to be telecast here. Understanding works both ways.
