OLD-TIME AND MODERN DANCE MUSIC
Sir-On looking through The Listener's programmes for October 13, I notice that in the whole programme only one hour of old time dance is supplied for the whole week. On Saturday night the 19th instant every YA station has a dance programme and all mode music. Every night of the week two of the YA stations have modern dance music. I do not wish to criticise modern dance music; it may be all very nice for those who like it; but why the huge monopoly? Why must it be jazz every night of the week? There are thousands of listeners who would very much welcome more oldtime dance music. It Oertainly is not a credit to +he broadcasting authorities to give such a monopoly
to modern dance music.-
