RADIOCITIES

Frequency Changes. There will be a re-shuffle of frequencies when seven 7| to 10 kilowatts relay stations come on the air in Australia, next year if official promises are carried out. Fast Work. Radio waves are estimated to travel a million times faster than light, and hundreds of millions of times faster than sound. As a result of this, people in New Zealand hear the chimes from the Sydney Post Office clock before the sound reaches people in the Sydney streets. Southern Stations. The frequency of 3ZM has been altered from 1450 kilocycles tio 1470. The change has been effected with a view of giving better reception of the Christchurch B station which on t.r.f. sots has been blanketed by 3YA’s very powerful harmonic. 4ZW Dunedin has been allotted 3ZM's old channel. Radio Entertainment. In the United States there is great competition between broadcasting and other entertainments for the services of leading performers. A decline in business is attributed in part by the picture interests to the fact that large audiences are encouraged to attend studio performances, invitations being issued by those advertisers who provide the items. School Broadcasts. In Great Britain the 8.8. C. school broadcasts are listened to by over 4000 schools, and more than two hundred thousand pamphlets are used each term. It. is interesting to note that these books are not supplied free.
