VIEWING IS NOW AS SELECTIVE AS LISTENING
Just as New Zealand listeners have, naturally, bccome selective of the programnies best suiting their tastes, so also are New Zealand viewers adopting similar attitudes. Owners of both types of receiving sets will still want to know what is ava.ilable from each medium at particular times and will alternately look at or listen to the programmes of their choice. The NZBC's task is to provide for each medium the material which it can most appropriately handle, so that one will not be duplicating on a second-best basis the contributions of the other. Thanks to the portable, car or transistor radio, . a wealth of programme material is available to listeners virtually anywhere, indoors or outside, for the twisting of a knob. And most parts of New Zealand receive a radio service. Between them the NZBC's 42 radio stations, are on the air for more than 4000 hours a week, giving virtually complete eoverage of the whole country. Three more stations are being ~ established to serve areas where some improvement or extension of the service is called for, namely in Hawera, Taumarunui and Tokoroa.
