FM musak licensed
Christchurch will be the first city in New Zealand to receive a music system transmitted on a. private frequency in the UHF band. “ In an interim decision, the Broadcasting Tribunal approved an application by Noel Wesneji Communications for an FM sound radio warrant in Christchurch. The approval permits the company to; transmit high-, quality background music in stereo to subscribers on the private frequency. The managing director of the company, Mr Noel Wesney, said the hew system, also referred to as
Narrowcasting, would feature music programming distinctly different from the range of music serfices now offered 'in Christchurch. He said his company felti it needed to keep, abreast of changing technology. The present telephdne technology could not ibe adapted tb meet the competition and fidelity that was available through FM radio and compact discs. (j i Special receiving apparatus will be required for the.) transmissions from the. Port Hills. It is hoped the new system will be running by mid-July.
