MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: Information of General Application Pertaining to Directive Number SCAPIN 1474/1, file AG 000.77 (17 Jan 47)CCS, this Headquarters, dated 3 Nov 48, subject: Authorization of Radio Program Transmission Service Between Japan and Other Countries
1. With reference to the subject memorandum, the following is published for the information of all concerned.
2. Heretofore there has been no demand for incoming Program Transmission Service to Japan and the only authorization covering such service was for outgoing programs to the United States only.
3. It now has been agreed that incoming programs to Japan should be authorized in the same manner as outgoing programs from Japan and that such incoming programs will serve the desirable purpose of promoting better worldwide understanding of and by the Japanese people, in addition to providing entertainment and useful information to occupation force personnel on duty in Japan.
4. The rate for incoming programs to Japan where a transmitter is required for control purposes will be the same as for outgoing programs from Japan. In certain cases where a program, either outgoing or incoming, terminates at a point in Japan other than Studio Nine in the Radio Tokyo Building, accessory charges for wire lines, and perhaps exceptional service, may develop. Accessory facilities and charges for such programs are the responsibility of the Ministry of Communications since they are considered to be part of the Ministry of Communications domestic telecommunications service.
