HC Deb 01 August 1956 vol 557 c152W
78. Sir P. Macdonald

asked the Postmaster-General when a very high frequency broadcasting station will be established on the Isle of Wight.

Dr. Hill

The B.B.C. is now preparing to start on Stage II of its V.H.F. development plan. This will include a station at Rowridge, together with five other stations—at Kirk o' Shotts, at Sandale near Carlisle, a permanent station in Anglesey to replace the present temporary station at Penmon, at Corwen (North Wales) and at Rosemarkie (Inverness). The B.B.C. plans to bring these stations into service during 1957 and 1958.
