BROADCASTING STATIONS
Sir, —Mr. Rolfe has tersely expressed what a very large number of radio listeners nre thinking. The B stations all through the piece have shown a very commendable anticipation of listeners' requirements. On the other hand, the Government has had to bo dragooned, time after time, into even meeting these requirements half-way. Listeners pay for radio service, and they expect to get service from those who receive the fees. Listeners' licence 'fees have been lavishly expended on a now radio station in Auckland. What have listeners got for this rather extravagant outlay? A handsome building? Yes, but listeners' interests don't exactly run in that direction. As a matter of fact, the only things that count with listeners, namely, programmes and transmission, are rather worse to-day than ever they have been in this city. Listeners' real interests are suffering at the hands of the national broadcasting authorities, while the B stations, to whom we turn in our troubles, are being badgered and pin-pricked to desperation. Super-Het.
