Frost, arrived by the Monterey to investigate New Zealand’s reception of programmes from the Empire broadcasting station. He said that the Corporation did not intend to brake a charge to the Dominions or any colony for the programme until a regular daily service of real entertainment was provided. Owing to the poorness of reception in New Zealand and unsuitability of our stations for relaying, the Corporation had supplemented the Empire service with a series of electrical transcriptions for which a small charge will he made. He emphasised that the Empire broadcasts are still in the experimental stage and, as a further experiment, broadcasting hours were to be allowed. Prom June 1, London would transmit from 4.30 to 6.30 in tho morning, five hours earlier than at present.
