THE WAR IN THE AIR

London,
TOOK the bloom off films, The
TV cinema replied with 3D and the
wide screen. Now colour TV is in sight and the battle grows hotter. Com- mercial TV will bring it to a peak.
But the Cinderella of entertainment is sound radio.
It cannot extand into new dimensions or colour. Radlo reception is becoming more difficult. The air is crowded with new or more powerful stations. More than 700 of them beam programmo at Britain from overseas.
A war in the air has begun and sound radio seems to have no defence--or has it?
Some backroom boys think it has, They
are talking enthusiastically about "Hi-Fi reception through VIIF with FM"; double-dutch which at least beats the cryptic terms of the latest on the
screen.

Frequency Modulation is the real secret of the new system. Like Hi-Fi record playing. It has become a craze in the USA.
With FM, short wave recep- tion is vastly improved. It la the opposite of AM or Ampli- tude Modulation which the BBC uses at present.
