“B” CLASS STATIONS
BAN ON USE OF RECORDS. AUCKLAND DECISION. Auckland, March 13. Six B-class radio stations in Auckland will carry on as well as possible under the ban placed by gramophone companies on the broadcast of the five principal brands of records. At a recent meeting of the United B Stations Club a resolution urging closing as a protest was passed, but when the proprietors of the remaining station announced that they considered the interests of listeners would best be served by remaining on the air, the other station owners also decided to remain in action. Although some stations are broadcasting no records of the prohibited makjs, others are using those released before October, 1931, when the gramophone companies first issued the ban. A proposal to import recordings from Germany and other parts of Europe is being considered, but will require a few months to be put into effect. In some instances it may be necessary for broadcasting hours to be reduced to avoid constant repetition. Efforts to negotiate with the gramophone companies have been met with the reply that no lightening of the restrictions can be made.
