RADIO BROADCASTING.

It is quite evident that New Zealand holders of wireless listening licenses are growing more and more dissatisfied with the conditions under which i broadcasting is conducted. They have become more vocal lately in their discontent, but it is obvious also that its volume has increased. Speaking generally, the complaints are about the inconvenient allocation of broadcast wave-lengths, the broad tuning of the New Zealand stations, the quality cf programmes supplied by the Broadcasting Company, and the lack of information about its finances The Government cannot divest itself of responsibility in this matter. It collects the licence fees, and incidentally prosecutes those w r ho make deIfault in paying them. It owes to the public an account of the manner in which the money is spent. Until this i is given, there is no real answer to the i complaints of those who are dissatisfied; until it is given, the complaints will increase. It is time the Government, as the final governing authority. |took heed of the public discontent with | New Zealand radio broadcasting.—New (Zealand Herald.
