Concert programme
Sir,—Can the Broadcasting Corporation really expect any credence for its “evidence” that YC audiences would be attracted to a commercial concert programme when in the same submission it says that these listeners tend to avoid television and the printed mass media, and are a difficult market to reach? Perhaps one should spell it out for them. We shun advertisements. We often reject television precisely because advertisements interfere with our enjoyment of the programme matter. Are we to understand from its argument that the role of the Broadcasting Corporation is to ensure that we all have our dose? That “not one of us is missed?” Perhaps there should be another Broadcasting Tribunal set up to examine what role we desire the corporation to fulfil?—Yours, etc., R. A. SMITHAM. November 8, 1983.
