Scope and content

Contains correspondence and parliamentary debates concerning the proposal to transfer the area served by the Belmont transmitter from Anglia Television to Yorkshire Television. Anglia television was awarded the Belmont transmitter by the Independent Television Authority (ITA) in 1965, and it was the early relinquishment of the lease which caused concern, as well as viewers preferences. Rural Lincolnshire and Humberside viewers did not want a Yorkshire based industrial television programme, Anglia Television faced the prospect of losing 25% of its viewers and this had negative consequences on advertising. Correspondents include Sir Robert Fraser, Lord Aylestone, Aubrey Buxton, Sir Harry Legge-Bourke, etc..
