CHURCH BROADCASTS
Sir,-Surely the time is overdue when all church services put over the air by the NBS should be reviewed. These services have grown in a haphazard fashion, and in the early days of broadcasting helped to fill in the Sunday hours, Many of them are not at all suitable for broadcasting, and should be confined within the walls of the church to which they belong. Most of them are monotonous, uninteresting, and not understandable by the majority of listeners, or probable listeners, for after all a very small proportion of radio listeners tune in to them. I do not advocate that they should be put off the air, but the time devoted to them should be greatly curtailed. One hour at the outside should be given to them from one YA station in each island only. The other YA, stations (one in each island again) should give us a broadcast from the studios. Interesting and clever speakers holding all manner of opinions should be invited to speak, and this, combined with suitable music, would cater for the great mass of listeners who will not listen to an orthodox church service. Yours, etc.,
