Expodition: A signal from Expo 67
Broadcast Date: Oct. 23, 1967
Pavilions abound at Expo 67: for nations, for industry, and to illustrate the Expo theme of Man and His World. There's another pavilion that Expodition has saved almost for last: the International Broadcasting Centre, where 200 of the world's broadcast organizations beam their reports from Expo around the world. This episode describes the centre and meets hostess Robyn Maynard, a radio and TV student from Australia.Expodition: A signal from Expo 67
