ABSTRACT

The broadcast media also have generally adopted a fairly critical and, in some cases, hostile approach. The BBC’s ‘Country File’ programme (24 April 1993) included a quite critical review, while BBC Radio 4’s ‘You and Yours’ programme (30 July 1993) presented a more or less unremittingly negative view. A Radio 4 ‘File on Four’ programme (8 March 1994) was a little more hopeful, although it did suggest that the development of wind farms might turn out to be harder than the developers, and some environmentalists, had initially hoped.
