HC Deb 16 November 1967 vol 754 c164W
Mr. Garrett

asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware of the difficulty of listeners on Tyneside in obtaining Radio Two reception; and if he will take steps to improve this reception.

Mr. Edward Short

The B.B.C. tell me that provided efficient receivers are used, reception of Radio 2 should be satisfactory on Tyneside generally, both on the very high frequency band and on the 1500 metres wavelength. For those who are having difficulty in receiving the service, reception would usually be improved by fitting an outdoor aerial. Listeners requiring advice should contact the Post Office or the B.B.C.
