AUCKLAND RADIO.
NEW COMMERCIAL SITE.
(By Telegraph.—Own' Correspondent.)
WELLINGTON, this day.
The Auckland commercial radio station in Takapuna district is to have a change of site. Transmitting has to be done "well away from the electrical interferences of the city, and for some years the Post and Telegraph Department has been utilising a privately owned area of land at Takapuna. It was considered advisable to place the station on the Department's own land, and an area of about one and a quarter acres in Takapuna, about a mile further north than the old station, has been taken under the Public Works Act. This development has no bearing on the future situation of Auckland's radio broadcasting station, a matter for determination by the Broadcasting Board, whose engineers are testing out a wide area with the object of selecting a new transmitting site fairly close to the sea, which will be more effective for broadcasting than the city aerial.
