Abstract
On the last day of July 1963, the new Television Bill received the Royal Assent. On the first day of that month Lord Hill entered the headquarters of the ITA as the Authority’s new Chairman, equipped, as he himself asserts, with a knowledge of broadcasting that was ‘slender’.1 He soon gained the impression that changes were needed at Brompton Road. Listening to fellow Members of the Authority ‘I found a feeling of something akin to guilt that they had exercised too little influence on the service … There would have to be changes in the Authority’s procedure; programme policy would have to be more positive; public relations needed a new approach.’2
