THEY ASKED FOR IT!
Headache For 2YD "Well, you asked for it," is about all the sympathy the staff of 2YD, Wellington, ever get when they moan about the amount of work their "You Asked for It’ session on Saturday night brings them. It’s not the work so much, they say, as the difficulty of broadcasting all the requests-and they get them by the hundreds each week frotm listeners in New _ Plymouth, Hawera, Wanganui, Featherston, Christchurch, Marlborough, WNelson and, of course, most of all from Wellington. These enthusiastic listeners send in their ideas for short programmes which are broadcast under a nom de plume, but 2YD would be pleased if they would also send their names and addresses every time and not expect to hear a programme which is sent in on Friday on the air the next Saturday. It can’t be done, says 2YD. And the announcer doesn’t make up the programme, so please don’t ring. him up and complain. "But keep up the good work," says 2YD. "We can take it!"
