HC Deb 16 November 1967 vol 754 cc163-4W
38. Mr. Tudor Watkins

asked the Postmaster-General what plans there are for an alternative British Broadcasting Corporation programme to be transmitted for the area now covered by the Llanyre station, Llandrindod Wells, in view of the protests about reception submitted by local viewers.

Mr. Joseph Slater

This is primarily a matter for the B.B.C. They tell me that the development of the network of ultra high frequency stations to broadcast B.B.C. 2 has not yet reached the stage when they could give high priority to planning a station for Llandrindod Wells.

39. Mr. Tudor Watkins

asked the Postmaster-General what proposals he is considering concerning joint use by the British Broadcasting Corporation and the Independent Television Authority of the local transmitter as a joint user so as to allow an alternative programme for television within the area of Llandrindod Wells.

Mr. Joseph Slater

The I.T.A.'s plan to build a station, which will share the site and mast of the existing B.B.C. station at Llandrindod Wells, has already been approved. The Authority expect to open their station towards the end of next year.
