RADIO PROGRAMMES
Sir, —It certainly is time some music of a brighter variety was introduced into 3YA’s programme during the daytime. Reception conditions being rather bad in the country, we are dependent on the National Broadcasting Service’s station’s programme, and cheerful music is an asset to a long, and frequently lonely, work day. Most programmes from 3YA seem to be school’s educational sessions, which are a help to children, and lectures by conscientious A.C.E. women, who are so anxious that the correct table linen is used to tone in with the china at meal times. The above sessions are interspersed with melancholy recordings of classical dirges, apart from two very brief “Music While You Work” programmes. The so-called modern variety of recordings presented in these two sessions are usually rather antiquated ones.—Yours, etc., M.R.R. September 8, 1950.
