Second Birthday of 2ZA
ALMERSTON NORTH was the first secondary broadcasting station in the Commercial Network.

Its popularity has increased so much over the past two years that insistent demands have been made for the increasing of the hours of transmission; and to celebrate the station’s second birthday this request was granted. 2ZA is now on the air from 6.30 a.m. to 9 a.m. with a bright and popular session, Within three days of this departure advertisers had rallied to the assistance of the station and already the commercial schedulés are showing good prospects. On the occasion of igs birthday 2ZA received congratulations from many prominent persons. The station and its personnel have been well to the fore in assisting worthy causes and appeals. The actual date of the station’s birthday was October 10, and on this occasion the "Controller visited the station, paid his compliments to the staff who were responsible for its operation, and also broadcast a message to the listeners. He said that 2ZA, for its size, would compare very favourably with other stations in the United States of America or Australia, and he congratulated the Station Director, John Brown, on the competence of his staff and the high esteem in which they are held in the community. :
