VIEWERS’ VIEWS
Sir,—l have endured in silence for several months the carnival of synthetic hysteria surrounding the America’s Cup. I accept that for some New Zealanders this spectacle provides genuine entertainment, but it must be a lapse of taste to overlay minute-by-minute progress reports on to prime-time television, with apparent disregard for the dramatic quality of the programmes. Is this information really so important that it can not wait at least until the commercial breaks? I have paid my licence fee like everyone else and I expect better from TVNZ. — Yours, etc., PAUL R. MARSHALL Hamilton
