SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1982

SUCH SEMINARS SERVE AS AN EFFECTIVE CHANNEL OF COMMUNICATION. AS THE FUNCTION OF THE TELEVISION HOME VIEWING GROUPS IS TO HELP THE TELEVISION ADVISORY BOARD KEEP IN TOUCH WITH PUBLIC ATTITUDES TOWARDS TELEVISION PROGRAMMES AND ADVERTISING STANDARDS, AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF COMMUNICATION IS BOTH ESSENTIAL AND USEFUL,

THE TSUEN WAN, HONG KONG EASTERN AND MONG KOK TELEVISION HOME VIEWING GROUPS ARE THE FIRST THREE OF THE 12 DISTRICT TELEVISION HOME VIEWING GROUPS WHICH HAVE NOW BEEN SET UP IN DISTRICTS OF HONG KONG ISLAND, KOWLOON AND NEW TERRITORIES.

ANOTHER SIX, COVERING THE REMAINING SIX DISTRICTS, WILL BE ESTABLISHED BY DÉCEMBER 1982. WITH THE SUCCESS OF TODAY'S SEMINAR, TELEVISION AUTHORITY PLANS TO MAKE THE FUNCTION A REGULAR EXERCISE.
