Canadian Television Makes Its Debut
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is now sending out television
programs on a regular basis. Following several weeks of experimental or test
telecasting from the CBC’s two TV stations now in operation—one in Montreal,
Canada’s largest city, and the other in Toronto, the second-largest city in the
country—a regular schedule of telecasting got under way early in September.
Both stations are operating with the best equipment available. . They
have specially-designed studios, scenery shops and dressing rooms, master
control facilities and maintenance shops. They each have, in addition, a
telecine room for recording TV programs and containing the equipment for
transmitting these recordings and other filmed material. Transmitting
facilities ensure a maximum reception range.
At the present time, CBC-TV is on the air about three hours a day and
this schedule will be adhered to with little variation during the months ahead.
Plans for expansion are going forward but their execution will depend on a
solution of the economic problems arising from the geographic nature of the
country. Canada is one of the largest countries of the world but it is also one
of the most thinly populated.
The next city in Canada which will have a TV center will be Ottawa, the
capital, where a transmitter and production facilities are expected to be
ready by the middle of next year. The ultimate goal of the CBC is TV coverage
of the whole country.
A micro-wave link between Toronto and Buffalo, New York, is already
making it possible for viewers in the Toronto area to avail themselves of a
certain number of United States TV network programs. Some time during
the latter part of 1953 when a micro-wave link between Montreal, Toronto
and Ottawa is completed, tele-
vision set-owners in all three
Canadian cities will be able to
enjoy TV programs origina-
ting in the United States in
addition to those produced in
Canada. For the time being,
kinescope recordings are being
used for the exchange of pro-
grams between Montreal and
Toronto.
Television operations in
Canada are following a pattern
similar to that of radio
broadcasting in Canada.
Like radio, television is a
