WIDER RADIO
Substitute For Pirates (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) LONDON, August 29. The Conservative Party favours more than 200 local commercial radio stations for Britain. The Opposition's broadcasting spokesman, Mr P. Bryan, M.P.. said the party would not agree to suppression of pirate radios —the Government’s announced intention—until some local sound broadcasting had been introduced.
He was against any introduction of a 8.8. C. music programme to replace the pirates —operating outside Britain’s territorial waters. The pirates had succeeded partly because they offered a much wider choice of continuous music than one 8.8. C. programme eould provide.
