Suggest you read some of the previous posts - Gib TV could have had UK programmes in the 1960s by microwave but TVE would not allow it for purely political reasons.

Did Morocco allow the Spanish colonies on the coast to be fed by microwave thjrough their territory or was it possible direct from Spain?

There was a direct microwave link from Spain into north Africa. In the 50s,60s and into the 70s all Eurovision traffic went by microwave. The BBC completed a permanent two-way link with France via Dover in September 1955.

That wasn't my question, yes I know satellite distribution has been suggested in this thread, my question was who suggested Telstar was an option ?

Here's the post again with your quote in context

I have family contacts in Gibraltar and a friend of the family run GBC for a number of years.

If you email GBC with your questions they would be happy to assist with your project.

OK, happy to stand corrected!
