DEMAND BY THE B.B.C.

London, Apr. 20

Sponsored TV will get the go-ahead sign early next month. But before private enterprise pic- tures reach viewers, Britain's entertainment in- dustries will be involved in the most bitter struggle they have ever known.

Already the B.B.C. is demanding more and more wavelengths, claiming the right to set up a second TV service of its own and grabbing precious air channels for development work,

The main fight will begin within Ave wesks when the Government's television advisory committee will lay down the technical conditions under which

forest of new TV stations can be set up all over Britain,

By the time the fladio Show opens in August, manufacturers will have on view "extra-TV" adapters (£5 to £15 each) with which viewers will be able to tune In programmes.
