ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETS. IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS TO BOARD. By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON. March 11. The first meeting of the Advisory Council appointed to make recommendations to the New Zealand Broadcasting Board concluded its sessions today. Mr J. H. Owen (Wellington) was appointed Chairman of the Council. The deliberations were in private. The whole field of broadcasting was fully discussed. It was indicated that ill the opinion of the Council certain localities were at present iil-served by the YA stations, these districts being Southland —Stewart Island, Central Otago, South Canterbury, West Coast, Nelson, Wairarapa, Napier, Hastings, Gisborne, Palmerston North. North Taranaki, Waikato, Bay of Plenty. Rotorua. In this connection it was resolved that in view of the certainty that a fully developed service depends on the expert report of (he “Coverage” Commission, that the next step to be taken might advantageously be co-operation with existing stations in the following places:—lnvercargill. Greymouth, Masterton, Hastings, Gisborne, Palmerston North, New Plymouth, and Hamilton.

The Board was recommended to consider as soon as practicable, in cases not included in this list, as they have at present no stations, the possibility of meeting the position either by increasing the power of adjacent YA stations, by subsidising any station to be privately established in the locality, or by other means. The Council thought the policy of the Board should ultimately be to increase the power and coverage of the YA stations, rather than to build numerous small stations. The Council considered (hat the suppression of serious radio interference should be a subject of Government regulation. In connection with the issue to listeners of a questionnaire on programme preferences, the Council expressed its approval of the effort to get an opinion directly expressed in this way.

The Board was asked to consider the possibility of doing something for New Zealand by way of a standard guide of pronunciation for announcers, not necessarily on the lines of “Broadcast English” issued by the British Broadcasting Corporation.
