B.B.C.2 (East Kent)

HC Deb 30 June 1965 vol 715 c86W

Mr. Boston

asked the Postmaster-General when he expects B.B.C.2 to be available in the remainder of East Kent.

Mr. Joseph Slater

Planning the extension of the coverage of B.B.C.2 is a matter, in the first place, for the Corporation. The B.B.C. expects to open towards the end of next year a main U.H.F. station at Dover. This station will serve the larger part of South East and East Kent. It is too early to say whether Faversham will benefit from this station. Other stations, to complete as far as is practicable the coverage of B.B.C.2 in Kent, will be built but I cannot yet say when these will be in service.
