ROY RAY Hartford will be the world's first city to have a pay-as-you watch television broadcasting station, according to plans announced here Thursday, The Zenith Radio Corp. has completed arrangements with RKO General a major broad-casting company, for RKO Gen eral to conduct a three-year trial run of subscription TV over WHCT, Channel 18, provided the Federal Communications Commission approves. The announcement was made by Joseph Wright, presidents! Zenith, T. F.

O'Neil, RKO General president, and Edward D. Taddei, president of WHCT, Would Buy Channel Under the plan, RKO General would acquire Channel 18, which has been in operation here as an independent station since January, 1959. Taddei would remain as general manager. During certain hours of Its broadcast schedule, the station would otter first-run Hollywood films and other features not avail able on regular TV. Zenith's "ovcr-the-air" Phonevision system would be used.

O'Neil said RKO General will apply to the FCC "within the next few weeks" for the changv in ownership and authority to gin the three-year trial of pay FCC consent is needed, but O'Neil said his company will "pursue its application vigorously and begin operations as soon as possible aft er authorization is received." How much RKO General will pay for Channel 18, and how much subscribers will be asked to pay for the exclusive telecasts iwfre als0 uncertain, nrst-mm rums However, O'Neil said subscrib ers will be able to see first-run films, Broadway shows and special events, such as championship fights which are "blacked-out" for ordinary TV reception, for a fraction of the cost of ac- jUlal tickets. There will be no in- lel rupuons lor commercials. The use of Zenith's Phonevision system means that each subscrib- 'er will receive a "decoding" at- j. A scribcr to for what he operation will be a test, at least two will probably be used. In one, the attached "decoder" can be coin-operated.
