DIRECTOR OF BROADCASTING ANNOUNCES
Stereo FM To Continue On Limited Scale
The Director of Broadcasting, Mr. Donald Brooks, announced today
that in view of the public response to the stereo FM demonstration transmissions,
he would continue these on a limited scale until such time as full stereo
coverage of the Colony could be achieved.
"We have received", said Mr. Brooks, "hundreds of telephone calls
at Broadcasting House, and very many letters, all indicating that stereo is
popular and much wanted.
"As a result, I propose to broadcast the nightly FM Music Service
on both monaural FM on 91 M/Hz and in stereo on 96 M/Hz from now on.
"Listeners will, however, have to realsie that with the limited power
of 100 watts ERP available, the service can only be received within the
harbour basin area.
"Programme material available will be mainly in stereo, but will
also contain some monaural items, but the fact that whatever is available
* in stereo, will be broadcast in stereo, will, I hope, give satisfaction
to listeners with stereo equipment. I hope it will not be too long before
we can provide a Colony-wide FM stereo service," he said.
