BROADCASTING.
Sir, —Your correspondent "Aucklander" opens up a very irritating subject when he starts to discuss broadcasting. From reports received from foreign technical journals it is evident that ho is quite right. But irrespective of other countries, why has the New Zealand Broadcasting Co. allowed our local service to deteriorate ? Beforo the company took over, we used to get five nightly and four afternoon broadcasts per week—many of these being by local, artists. Now with increased and regular revenue, IYA only gives four night concerts per week, and, as far as I kuow, fluyas aro all gramophone concerts. A statement, supposedly from tho manager of tho company, recently published was to tho effect that the inot'easo in "'quality" more than balanced the decrease in "qnantity." On the facts ajbove stated I fail to appreciate the trnth of this statement. Threequarters of tile radio year lias gone and no results—what does the future hold in store for our thirty bobs ? SorEE-HET.
