TELEVISION RECEPTION
Protest By Residents
Residents of Okuti Valley, Lake Forsyth, and Birdlings Flat decided at a recent meeting to protest strongly at the delay in providing adequate television coverage for these areas, says a statement from Mr D. J. Mitchell on behalf of the residents.
Mr Mitchell says thA at the time of the Banks Peninsula Televiewers’ Association annual meeting, reception in these areas was marginal, but after the N.Z.B.C. took over reception deteriorated considerably. "The meeting of residents considered that if there was a reason for the necessity of withholding permission for the granting of a licence to operate a translator for the area, the residents should be informed,” Mr Mitchell says. He says there was no financial involvement to the N.Z.B.C. in the erection of this translator, and persons in the area consider they are entitled to ask whether the signal has been cut down, and, if so, why. The statement was referred to the regional engineer for the N.Z.B.C. (Mr R. G. Tulloch) who said that if the above matters were forwarded to the corporation they would be fully examined.
