CLOSER TO TELEVISION

CLOSER TO TELEVISION
FROM ALL INDICATIONS ST. Croix will have
television via st. Thomas before the year is out. Already
the tower, 50 important for transmission purposes is
complete, and other details are being worked on. Even
though this tower will eventually be used for television,
it is now being used to increase radio coverage for Sta
ton WIVI
TELEVISION TODAY is perhaps the most extern
sive and important single medium Of communication: It
has transformed the worlds thinking, and much Of its
action, over the past 10 years as nothing else has. In the
United States, which no doubt has the largest coverage
Of any country in the world, there are millions and mil.
lions Of television sets in homes from East to West,
North to South.
TELEVISION IS entertainment. II is information.
1t is instruction, and in short. a way Of life in the big
cities and towns Of America. II has become 50 vital q
part Of the life Of the family that the teleyision indus
try itself has set up codes of good conduct, and opera
tional ethics, thus assuring that viewers will have only
the best offered to them.
W RECENT EVENTS, totally different in con-
tent and appeal, brought television to the fore. The first
IF these was the marriage Of Princess Margaret, the sec
cnd the Summit Conference (or what was left Of it,.
Television cameras captured the very essense OF the
marriage IN Westminster Abbey, and to make sure that
The tapes were shown in America as soon as possible
they were flown by jet to Canada. And the same thing
took place for the conference.
NATURALLY, TELEVISION for US will be limit.
ed in its beginning stages. Distance, calling tor more
power, will be a factor. Then there will be the matter
of local programs Of sufficient magnitude to warrant
television coverage, but these will increase with time
and experience. Our greatest advantage will be N Iced
ing in national programs Of wide interest, including
