SUNDAY BROADCASTING

Sir, —I would like to add my protest, to that of "Listener" on the above subject. Why Sunday should be the most neglected day goodness only knows. And moreover, what little music IYA does give is pf the heavier kind; why not something bright and cheerful ? I trust that others more able will take up this matter and see it through. Bored Stiff. Sir, —In drawing attention to the meagre week-end broadcasting arrangements, I consider your correspondent, ' Listener, is voicing the sentiments of the great majority of listeners. Sunday, the day that most of us are at home, is almost a dead day. We are provided with a short afternoon "concert" from IYA, composed mostly of high-class stuff. Would not something with a little more life and harmony bo just as appropriate? And why neglect us altogether on Sunday morning ? E.A.M. Sir, —With reference to "Listener s letter re radio programmes, may I enter a strong protest against his suggestion that Sunday's session should commence at 8 a.m. and continue without a break till closing time! Having to listen to our neighbours' loud speakers continuously on Sundays would seriously affect the mental balance of tired city workers, who need some respite from perpetual noise. Perhaps "Listener" will try to give the other fellow's point of view some consideration. However, we rely on the Broadcasting Company to use its usual judgment as to what is reasonable for and acceptable to the general public. Another Listener.
