The Open Broadcast Network Links Live to New York

Sarajevo, 9 September 1998

Tonight at 21:06 The Open Broadcast Network will link with Worldnet in New York to produce 'WASHINGTON WINDOW' - a live sixty minute programme with participation from OBN in Sarajevo and Banja Luka, TV NIS in Moscow and TV Bajina Basta in Serbia.

Taking part from New York will be Richard Holbrooke, Chief Negotiator of the Dayton Peace Agreement and author of the book 'To End The War'. He will be presented with questions from prominent journalists in the other studios.

Mike Challenger, Project Director said, "This is another first for OBN to be able to link these countries with our satellite system. We believe it will be well received by our viewers as a welcoming alternative to the current election campaign and situation in Kosovo".
