BROADCAST OF RECORDS
Suggestion That Board Could Protect B Stations POSITION IN AUSTRALIA (By Telegrapn—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, To-day. The Rev. C. G. Scrimgeour, of the Friendly Road radio station, returned from Sydney to-day. He said the position regarding the broadcasting of records by B stations was very serious, although the claims lodged were ridiculous." The only way by which listeners in New Zealand could be protected was by the Broadcasting Board extending to B stations the protection which it was able to give board-eon-trolled B stations, and there appeared no reason why it should not officially recognise them and thus obviate the gramophone record ban. In Australia B stations paid a copyright fee of threepence per record, which was reasonable, as the B stations there were revenue-earning, but that was impossible for B stations in New Zealand. Mr Scrimgeour remarked thafc in Sydney the people were not so radiominded as in New Zealnd in proportion to the population. There were a lot fewer sets in Sydney than in the Dominion. While in Sydney he had established Friendly Road services there.
