Mr. Dunton said that Zlls years ago Canada had no television. Now it has 24 stations-seven owned by the publicly-owned CBC and 17: by private broadcasters--bringing en- tertainment to l.200.000 families. "The wide development has been made possible by co-operation be- tween public and private enter- prise in an overall system. . . 2” The CBC chairman reported in I speech broadcast on the Trans- Canada radio network series "Our Special Speaker" that 1954 has seen the most intense development in Canadian broadcasting since the CBC's national system was estab- lished. His siatoinenis were contained in the text of a speech issued to the press in advance of delivery. Mr. Dunion said the challenge ahead is for greater production of television programs in Canada and for further improvement in tho way they are produced. The coming year would also see more production in regions outside the Ontario and Quebec netwbrk system. While stations outside southern Ontario and Quebec now carried n at i n n a 1 programs by means of recordings. the CBC planned a direct relay network linking all stations in Canada from coast to coast.
