Iho Secretary of the General Post Office announces that the department has given careful consideration to the question cf the wave lengths of the New Zealand broadcasting stations.

4YA, Dunedin, 463 metres. The change at Auckland. Christchurch, and Dunedin will take place at an early date, which will bo duly announced by tho stations concerned. The old .Wellington station will continue on its present wavelength until tho opening of the new station, which will operate on 420 metres. In fixing tho foregoing wave-lengths due weight has been given to technical considerations. in addition to tho matter 'f clearance between the wave-lengths of tho Dominion stations, and between the latterand those of tho Australian stations.
