Radio and TV Coverage
NEVER before has there been such comprehensive coverage of an election. It will be the most complex combined operation in the history of the BBC. For the first time all three radio services are involved, and broadcasting will continue throughout the night. Says Stephen Bonarjee, editor of Current Affairs, Sound: 'By grouping our resources we can offer a wide choice. For example-an election-night party on the Light, a fast service of key results on the Home, a methodical report- ing of full results in the Third Network. But all will be com- plementary so that listeners can switch from one to another.' The radio master plan embraces all the BBC regional as studios well as five studios in Broadcasting House, London, each with a specialised purpose in feeding the main operation with such ingredients as news of key results, outside broad- casts from constituencies-there will be over thirty outside- broadcast points all over the country-and expert comment. BBC-tv will have over fifty cameras in strategic positions such the vital as constituencies and those which traditionally declare early; in Trafalgar Square, in clubs and pubs, and university meeting places. Explains Paul Fox, Head of Public Television: Affairs, We plan to bring in the results swiftly, underline their significance as they happen, and provide the best possible comment not only from our own team of com- mentators but from people who have actually taken part in the events. The day's engineering problem alone is a stag- gering one. Even with studios as modern as those at TV Centre the control room has had to be extended to handle all the incoming traffic from outside broadcast units, regional studios, and a host of special telephones.' A recent complete dummy-run of the election programme as it will happen during the night was based on the 1959 election for timing purposes, but the results that came through were those predicted, as far as possible, for 1964. What were they? That is strictly off the record. See and Preparing for ElectionNight-a dummyrun in the central TV studio view for yourself this week-as it happens.
