RADIO PROGRAMMES
Sir.—lt is most surprising that listeu-ers-in have for so long borne in silence the “sad stuff” which the New Zealand stations almost invariably put on the air. Your correspondents, 1 am sure, express the views of at least ninety per cent, of the listeners-in. The musical director of 2YA, as your correspondent "W.R.” says, has intimated his intention of educating the public. This idea was adopted by a large foreign company operating in New Zealand in the manner of the conduct of its business, but they very soon found that the public educated them. It is evident that if the present lifeless programmes continue a very small proportion of the licenses affecting machines not capable of intercolonial reception will be renewed. I trust that sufficient of your readers will take the ' trouble to express their views to make those responsible realise that drastic alterations in the programmes arc necessary if the present popularity of radio is to be maintained.—l am, etc., G. B. L. Wellington, October 13.
