year SILVER THE ANNIVERSARY SPRAY Five years ago, when the first properly organized programe of musical items was broadcast to the British publie, there were probably no more than five thousand listeners. On its fifth anniversary.
on the 14th of November, the British Broadcasting Company programme had a British audience of about twelve million, and in the near future, when certain experiments now being made are completed, the estimated number of listeners will be fifty million. The new scheme is expected to be established sometime next year, and the next step will then be to link up with the Dominions and the Colonies, When this is Ccompished it will be possible to communicate with two undred million British subjects. And all this is a likely development of the immediato future. In a few years time Jerhaps in five years practically the whole world will be linked up in one wireless system, and tisteners in London, Stockholm or Tokio may be invited to hear the first performance of some great orchestral work, in, say, Vienna, San Francisco, or Buenos Aires.
