New radio and TV choices for Britain
NZPA-AAP London Britain will have its first national commercial radio station by 1990. This was announced in the House of Commons by the Home Secretary, Mr Leon Brittan, who also revealed that the Government had approved satellite television, which should be available to householders by the end of this decade.
The “Daily Mail” re-
ported the radio station would put out a mixture of music, chat shows and news. Satellite TV will be handled by a consortium formed by the 8.8. C., private operators and the national independent network ITV.
It is also likely that viewers will be able to subscribe to a three-channel satellite service — one for films and two for mixed programmes.
