(Guiana Graphic August 18 th 1963).
Six Guianese families have sneaked their way into the dizzy band of Television Viewers and are very elated about it.
Although we have got no television station here, they are “getting the goods” – and that’s all that matters.
Events in several Caribbean countries are now being mirrored on the screens in these six B.G homes.
The owner of one of the six sets is popular archer Mr. Chic Young, who recently got a first-hand look at the damage wrought by hurricanes and floods in Puerto Rico.
“Reception on my set is generally good,” he says.
An electronic engineer, commenting on the current advent of T V in B.G. said that perfect reception is only guaranteed within a 50-mile range, but beyond that , well, it just isn’t reliable.
He referred to what the six Guianese families are now getting as “freak reception.”
The conditions for TV in B.G are quite favorable, he feels, but such a project would depend on whether Government would be willing to take the step.
