something was wrong. Last week,

.NBC Will Try in the Home
What 1t Did With To-day
By Horry Macarthur

Ever since the start of TO
day" two years ago there have
been trade rumors that NBC-TV
would soon do something of the
same for other areas of its TV
programming. Rumors this week
became fact. Details of the new
show, Home" were announced
on a closed circuit telecast to
NBC affiliates.
"A revolutionary daytime tele-
vision program especially created
for the millions of women view
ers," it will begin on March /. it
was revealed by Sylvester L.
Weaver. jr., president of NBC.
Home" will be seen from IL am.
until noon (EST) in the East and
Midwest. Eventually it will be
extended to the West Coast.
Home" will do on a network
basis with a high budget what
Ruth Crane, Nancy Osgood and
some others do on a local basis
on a shoeString. It will be, by
NBC description. "a television
service magazine" And it's the
networks own fault if that gives
the impression that the program
will be designed for people who
fix television sets.
Subjects to. be covered regu-
larly on Home" include fash
ion and beauty cooking. family
problems. child care and train
ing. shopping news. interiors and
gardens. home economics and
leisure time activities. To do
all of this 100000 permanent
setting now is being constructed
for the program.
This will be essentially a the
ater-in-the-round. Its design is
to enable the show mot only to
inform but to stimulate the
housewife to adopt a procedure
demonstrated. or to buy prod
uct advertised" Among its fea-
lures will be a large turntable on
which four sets stimulating four
different rooms in house can
b. set up at once. There also
will be a "tumbler," to lift, turn
or revolve a refrigerator, making
it possible to show all sides Of
a product.
The home of Home" also will
have an elementary" for recre-
alton of the elements. When a
model demonstrates a raincoat
on this show. she'll do it in the
man-made rain.
