RADIO B STATIONS
DESIRE FOR RETENTION
HASTINGS PETITION
(Per Press Association.) HASTINGS, this day.
A petition signed by approximately 800 listeners in Hastings for the retention of the present broadcasting services in this district has been handed to Mr. E. L. Cullen, M.P., for presentation to the Minister of Internal Affairs. Tho petition is the outcome of a public meeting in Hastings when an almost unanimous vote was cast in favour of the retention of the three Hawke s Bay L class radio stations as against their purchase by tho Government. Inquiries made this morning regarding the intentions of the management ol the Hastings station, 2ZL, as regards the offer of the Government failed to elicit a definite announcement of a decision. It is understood that, though nominally the offer was open until to-dav, there is no urgency in the matter and further time will be allowed for consideration and negotiation.
