Select Your Programmes
I wonder (Margaret Bondfield asked recently in the "Radio Times") how many housewives listen in the mornings to programmes arranged especially for women? Some of my friends complain they don’t know about these features till they are over, because they "don’t see the programme till after six o’clock, when the man of the house brings in the paper-if he does!"
If women do not know what to look out for how can they be selective in their listening? They are reduced to turning on at hazard, or they miss that part of the programme which the authorities have planned specially to please and interest then... . All of us listeners can practise a little wholesome discipline in programme selection in order that the quality of our listening may improve, and we may avoid the social sin of turning this great gift into a cause for cursing by our neighbours.
