RADIO LICENCES
DOUBLED IN FOUR YEARS
The expansion in numbers of radio receiving licences has been so remarkable in New Zealand year after year that it is surprising that the past 12 months should show an increase of 11.6 per cent., the total humber of receiving licences on February 28— 311,502— being 32,393 more than at the corresponding date in 1938. They all become renewable at the end of March. The latest figure included 960 licences issued to schools, hospitals, and other institutions and to the "blind.
When radio broadcasting became a State service in 1932 the licences numbered only 71,686, and the latest total is double that of May, 1935.
