RADIO BROADCASTING
POSITION OF B STATIONS RECOGNITION BY BOARD URGED (Per United Press Association) AUCKLAND, August 24. The Rev. C. G. Scrimgeour, of the Friendly Road Radio Station, returned from Sydney to-day. .He said the position regarding the broadcasting of records by B stations was very serious. Although the claims lodged were ridiculous, the only way by which listeners-in in New Zealand could he’protected was by the Broadcasting Board extending to B stations the protection which it was .able to give. The board controlled the B stations, and there appeared to be no reason - why it should not officially recognise them, and thus obviate the gramophone record ban. In Australia B stations paid a copyright fee of 3d per record, which was reasonable, as B stations there were revenue earning, bvjt it was impossible for the B stations in New Zealand .to do so.
•Mr Scrimgeour remarked that in Sydney the people were not so radiominded as in New Zealand in proportion to the population. There were fewer sets in Sydney than in the Dominion. While in Sydney he had established Friendly Road services there.
