Coronation Will Be BBC's
Biggest Ever
Assignment
LONDON.
When the BBC goes on the air on Coronation Day its audience is likely to be the biggest in radio history.
Direct transmissions will reach 57 countries in 45 languages, and 1,000 foreign networks have already asked for rebroadcasting facilities.
If Moscow suspends its jamming activities on June 2, listeners be- hind the Iron Curtain will also have a chance to hear the Coronation broadcast. There was no Russian jamming of British programmes on the day of Queen Mary's funeral, and the Coronation too may be given a clear field, though the BBC has made no representations to Moscow about it.
