In the meantime, under the new frequency allocation
plan a number of interim improvements will be possible and
I have directed that these be put in hand. By using modest
standby facilities, R.T.H.K. will be able to duplicate its
Radio 1 service in F.M. to cover what broadcasters call the
"Golden Bowl", that is the north of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon
and Tsuen Wan, as well as Sha Tin, Tuen Mun, and the
North East New Territories. The existing R.T.H.K. Radio 2
F.M. service will be similarly extended and some improvement
will be provided in F.M. for Radio 3 listeners living on the
southern side of Hong Kong Island. These improvements
will be made by the coming Summer. Discussions are underway
with Commercial Radio aimed at facilitating similar interim
improvements to their services
improvements which Commercial
Radio are I know most anxious to make.
