Scrapbook 3: Once a Week Telstar TV

ONCE A WEEK TELSTAR TV

By Our Television and Radio Staff

The Post Office announced last night that an agreement had been reached with France and America by which the BBC and Independent television can relay programmes from America via Telstar once a week.

It is not to be allowed more often because the communications satellite’s main purpose is at present technical tests including special telephone calls. This week’s programme bounced across through space will be transmitted at the Radio Show at Earl’s Court at about 5 p.m. on Thursday.
