PROGRESS OF BROADCASTING
RADIO IN EVERY THIRD HOUSE. EXHIBITION AT WELLINGTON. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. “Broadcasting in New Zealand is making most gratifying and continuous progress,” said the Postmaster-General, Mr. Adam Hamilton, in declaring open the radio exhibition at the town hall tonight. In 1925 when broadcasting was first instituted as a national service, he said, there were 3000 listeners. At March 31 last there were nearly 118,000 receiving licenses issued. It was computed that the proportion of radio licensees to the population of New Zealand was 75 per thousand. It was estimated that one house in every three had a radio installed, and it might not be wide of the mark to prophesy that in a few years radio sets would be in practically every house.
