Pay-TV System Set for Britain
Britain launches its first pay television service on January 7 in Westminster and Southwark with 2000 to 3000 subscribers, offering feature films and sports, including a Chicago wrestling program and an evening with the Royal Ballet. By summer, 10,000 subscribers are hoped for, with a small gray box and two shilling coins for each feature film, priced at six shillings. Lord Brabourne says Britain’s large wired relay system supports the venture, aiming for about 1.40 dollars weekly per subscriber and 50 hours of programming weekly. Carnegie Corp awards total 11.9 million dollars for U S and Commonwealth educational programs.
