THE BROADCASTING SERVICE
TO THE EDITOR Sir, —Now that the commercial station has been opened ill Dunedin, I feel that it may be timely to offer some criticism to the national station. I have always felt that the breakfast session could be improved. Certainly this should not be the formal stilted session it is at present. Informality is always appreciated by people in the morning, but the present announcer is very stiff and seldom reveals any originality,. owing to his strict adherence to typical 4YA announcing formulas. It is very obvious, also, that the programmes are simply repeated at intervals of a few months, and by this time they are very well known and "contain practically no new and bright music at all. If the national service is insufficiently staffed to enable it to present us with a different breakfast session each morning al 1 the year, then I advise the borrowing of a few from the commercial staff, which is so extensive that it could restaff the 8.8. C.! —I am, etc., Stomp. Green Island, October 20.
