Transatlantic TV
Declared Coming;
t Basically Possible
By ROBERT W. SARNOFF
NBC President
Written for United Press
That television set in your
living room will soon be taking
on a new importance. Within
five years, that set may be tak
ing you across the seas in the
same way that it now whiks
you around trie continent on such
shows as ''Wide Wide World."
This if not blue-sky talk: Inter
national television, with live
programs spanning the oceans,
is already technically possible.
Some day it will be a practical
reality.
Operas From Italy
You may be witnessing opera
performances at La Scale in
Milan, great sports events at the
Velodrome d'Hiver in Paris. Mar
di Cras frolics on the Riviera
and major news events as they
occur in world capitals.
When that day comes, we will
be ready. At NBC we have set
up a department of international
operations. Its job is to maintain
close contact with TV systems all
I over the world. Its aim is to make
the top attractions of television
I all over the world available to
' American viewers, on a live basis
wherever possible.
Naturally, international tele
vision is a two-way street. We
expect our own programs will
also become part of the home
viewing schedule of other na
tions. Last spring, NBC executives
sat down in Italy with repre
sentatives of the eight European
networks which are linked to
gether in a hook-up known as
Euro-vision. Out of this confer-1
ence came working arrange
ments between Eurovision and
NBC. All parties concerned were
most excited about prospects for
transatlantic programming.
Today, American television is
the most advanced in the world.
Contributing to Growth
W have acquired a great
amount of technical and pro
gramming know-how, and we are
making it available to TV net
works and stations in other na
tions. We are also preparing to
send teams of consultants to
help foreign networks in the de
velopmental stage. This is in
keeping with the policy of our
government and of other pri
vate industries in providing tech
nical assistance abroad.
By helping to develop televi
sion skills abroad, and by pre
paring for international pro
cramming, we hope we are con
tributing to the future growth

school hand leader who was bru
tally flogged by five hooded as
sailants said Saturday he doesn't
have any idea who attacked him
or why.
