AUTOMATA, the company which created Pimania, has launched another competition with Radio Victory of Southampton in which the questions are broadcast in the form of programs for the Spectrum.

The competition started on June 18 and has been broadcast at 1.30pm every Saturday on 95MHz VHF since that date.

Entrants must pick up the programs either directly from a radio or by using a tape recorder. The program consists of one screen of text with the Radio Victory logo and one line of a famous song beneath it.

Listeners must guess the title of the song and send the answer to Radio Victory disc jockey Dave Carson.

Prizes for the competition are £5 gift tokens but Christian Penfold of Automata hopes that sponsorship gained from the broadcast will result in bigger prizes.

"The initial prizes were small but we hope that if this takes off we can arrange to give bigger prizes. The response from the first week's competition was amazing. It started as a six-week experiment but because of the response we hope that we can continue it for a long time."

People who live outside the Radio Victory area may still be able to pick up the signals. Radio Victory is boosting the signals to just within the limits set by Independent Broadcasting Authority guidelines. People have heard signals in Brighton and the Isle of Wight.
