YOUR TELNO 039 TO HANOI RTHK TRANSMISSION FOR HANOI
1.
WE WERE GRATEFUL FOR THIS
INDICATION OF YOUR CURRENT PLANS
WHICH WE HAVE DISCUSSED WITH THE BBC
2.
WE THINK YOU ARE RIGHT TO SEEK TO GIVE YOUR BROADCASTS A CLEARLY IDENTIFIABLE HONG KONG IMAGE - HOWEVER, WE WONDER WHETHER CANTONESE POP MUSIC WOULD APPEAL TO A VIETNAMESE
AUDIENCE. A COMBINATION OF VIETNAMESE CLASSICAL AND WESTERN POP
MUSIC WOULD SEEM TO US TO BE A BETTER FORMULA
3.
WE WISH YOUR PROGRAMME EVERY SUCCESS. CLEARLY IT WILL NOT
BE EASY TO ACHIEVE A FORMAT WHICH MANAGES TO ATTRACT A
SIGNIFICANT AUDIENCE WHILE CONVEYING A BLEAK MESSAGE
WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD KEEP US INFORMED OF YOUR PLANS AS THEY DEVELOP.
5. WE AGREE THAT THE VIETNAMESE AUTHORITIES SHOULD BE FOREWARNED OF YOUR INTENTIONS AND WOULD BE GRATEFUUL IF HANOI WOULD TAKE A SUITABALE OPPORTUNITY TO BRIEF THEM ALONG THE LINES OF PARA 7 OF
TELEGRAM UNDER REFERENCE
