From Our Own Correspondent
Noumea, Sept. 20.
RADIO Noumea, the new all-services radio station, operated by the American Red Cross, on 960 kilo cycles, was officially opened on September 5.
Noumea’s French station has been broadcasting programmes for the Ameri can forces every evening; but there were technical difficulties. Finally, by amicable agreement between the French Govern ment and the American Army, a new transmitter was installed by the Red Cross; and the Fighting French and American Red Cross transmitters will now function in unison, making pro grammes available both to the French and the Allied forces.
Radio Noumea will be on the air daily from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (local time) and from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Portion of the programmes only will be broadcast over the frequency already assigned to the French on 49 metres on the medium wave length band, in addition to the full broad cast over the 960 kilocycles frequency.
