HC Deb 06 July 1926 vol 197 cc1868-9
35. Colonel DAY

asked the Postmaster-General the result of the experimental alternative programmes test made by the British Broadcasting Company; and whether it is likely that such alternative programmes will be made a permanent feature of British broadcasting?

Sir W. MITCHELL - THOMSON

Authority has been given to the British Broadcasting Company to conduct a series of tests in the simultaneous transmission of different programmes from two stations in close proximity. The tests are not yet completed, and it is not yet possible to make any statement as to their result.
