In accordance with a recommendation of the Royal Commission on Television, the expansion of television services in Australia has been planned in clearly defined stages. The first and second stages resulted in the establishment of separate commercial and national services in Sydney and Melbourne (1956) and then in the other State capitals (1958, 1959). The following paper discusses. the work undertaken by the Postmaster-General's Department in providing transmitting station facilities for the Phase 3 (thirteen stations in the major regional centres) and Phase 4 (twenty stations in the country areas) stages of the expansion programmes which cover the period from 1961 to 1966.
The general features of the programmes are discussed and descriptions are given of typical Phase 3 stations installed during 1962 and 1963.
