GOVERNOR HONG KONG
(date)
1. Colonel Stirling came to see Mr Amery on
16 November to discuss the technical arrangements
for the new TV stations. He said that HKTVB,
having built up a set-count of 640,000 on Band IV
were unhappy at the prospect of having to share
พ V
Bands and with the two new stations. Apart
from the temporary loss of outlets pioneered by
I
them while sets were adjusted to Band, this
might create technical problems in satellite-
transmitter engineering and location. TVB
believed that it would be technically possible and
IV
commercially fair for them to retain Band while
the new stations broadcast on Band 4. They
considered that what was needed was further
investigations to establish this.
