BROADCAST OF MATCH
POSSIBILITY OF EXTENSION OF HOURS “ I do not know whether I will be able to do anything about it, but I shall certainly take the matter up with the Electricity Controller on my return to Wellington,” stated the Minister in charge of broadcasting, Mr Jones, when approached by the Daily Times yesterday with a request that some extension of broadcasting hours might be possible in order to permit the complete commentary on the Ranfurly Shield match to-morrow to be broadcast. Mr Jones agreed that considerable public interest would be taken in the game, and that the extension of the broadcasting hours on that day would be appreciated. ... He had only recently made inquiries concerning the possibility of broadcasting hours being returned to the normal daily number, Mr Jones told the Daily Times, but he had been advised that such action would be unlikely until about the end of next month.
