We study one bit broadcast in a one-dimensional network with nodes ${\cal N}_0,\ldots,{\cal N}_n$, in which each ${\cal N}_{i-1}$ sends information to ${\cal N}_i$. We suppose that the broadcasting is synchronous, and at each step each atomic transmission ${\cal N}_{i-1}\rightarrow{\cal N}_i$ could be temporarily incorrect with probability equal to a constant $0
