Sir,—This morning before 8 o’clock the announcer gave the degrees of frost received at 6 a.m. as eight, and said the frost might increase later. Knowing the weather forecast would be at 9 a.m., I waited anxiously, but the lady announcer switched on to the Correspondence School session, without giving any news of the frost, which is important. As most of the news is uninteresting and confined to talks, I switched off. Could this news be given immediately after the weather forecast, please?—Yours, etc., ANXIOUS. July 12, 1954. [When this letter was referred to the Station Manager, 3YA (Mr J. F. Skedden) he siad that the frost report could not be given after the 9 a.m. weather forecast, as that forecast came in link and was followed immediately by the correspondence school session. Where possbile, the announcer repeated this information at 9.30 a.m., after the school broadcast was finished.]
