EMPIRE BROADCASTS
PLEA FOR EXTENSION OF HOURS
LONDON, April 15.
Discussing the Empire news bulletin broadcasting scheme, 'the “Daily Mail” says much must be done before the Chelmsford broadcasts can be described as truly Imperial. A service of six to seven hours a day cannot properly serve an Empire on which the sun never sets. Moreover, the broadcast will reach some regions when possible listeners will either he working of sleeping.
British subjects all over the Empire have a right to expect Home news from a British source, instead of gleaning news from foreign sources. Moreover, a 24-hour service is perfectly easy, says the paper. It is merely a question of money. It- would cost £30.000 a year—plus a capital outlay of £40,000--for a proper station which could be supplied by a 10 per cent, deduction of receipts from the licenses of British listeners-in. Tno matter will probably be raised at the Imperial Conference.
