B.B.C.2 Programmes, Darlington (Reception) (Hansard, 13 December 1966)

HC Deb 13 December 1966 vol 738 c60W 60W

Mr. Ted Fletcher
asked the Postmaster-General what reports he has received about the reception of B.B.C.2 programmes in the Darlington area.

§ Mr. Edward Short
The extension and improvement of B.B.C. television coverage are primarily the Corporation's responsibility, and I do not receive reports about reception. However, the B.B.C. tells me that Darlington is not within the normal B.B.C.2 reception area served from Pontop Pike. The station planned for North Yorkshire should serve the Darlington area, but it is too early to say when this station will open.
