HDTV Magazine Daily Programming Guide with Editor's Note on Publication Plans

 

 

Editors Note Please forgive me for not delivering the guide yesterday . My only hope is that you missed it dearly and are looking forward to today's issue. I usually work throughout the night as that is the only time when there are no phone calls or other distractions, and once I had not made it past 7:30 the phones began and other distractions and finally sleep overcame me. For those of you who may have just subscribed I can tell you that this is a rare occasion. This is still an experimental enterprise and not Time Magazine, but the good news is that we are in serious talks with very large publishers who seem to believe in  the vision for the future of the magazine--make it a full companion to the technical revolution that is now being led by the HDTV image. My aim is to have as many departments as there are sectors of human interest from a Sports Page, Financial Section, Gossip Page, How It Works Section, and a department dedicated to the social reconstruction that HDTV is certain to bring to all parts of the world._Dale
