RADIO PROGRAMMES
Sir, —I wish to suport the suggestion of K. Baker that one of our stations put over light music exclusively—no half-witted or sensational serials, and no interminable sport reviews. Incidentally, why is it necessary to turn the volume down for music and up for speech?—Cannot all sound be arranged to reach the listener at the same decibel level?—Yours, etc., P.M.N. July 12, 1954.
Sir,—Everyone is entitled to his opinions and tastes in radio entertainment; but K. Baker and I think alike and we don't get a look in to listen in. To dodge those infernal serials and pick up a programme to my liking one would switch the dial all night. A gramophone would be less bother. And so our radio is an ornament. Of course we check our clocks and the weather at times; but with four 13-year-olds in our family and wishing to cultivate good taste and morals, we gently guide them from listening to reading that which is more elevating than “Superman,” etc., and glamourised triangle love affairs and murder later in the evening. I don’t wonder at crime, even in juveniles, being common head-line news these days. To the powers that be, why can’t we have 3YC as in days of yore?—Yours, etc., MUSIC PLEASE. July 12, 1954.
