BETTER TV FOR COAST
• ■ (N.Z Press Association) WELLINGTON, Aug. 5. t The first stage of a project i designed to bring better tele- . vision reception to Nelson, E Murchison, Golden Bay, Reefton and Westport would be . commissioned on October 6, I said the Director-General of I Broadcasting (Mr L. R. Sceats). The change will involve new transmitters on the Grampians, Kohatu, Mount Murchison, Takaka Hill and ! Mount Burnett, as well as , several small translators. • Viewers in almost all areas ; would have to switch to a new channel and in many ■ cases a new aerial, he said. ; Westport and Reefton viewi ers, however would begin re- • ceiving programmes from J Wellington rather than from > Christchurch without having :to change their channel ’ switch.
