MORE OR LESS NEWS?
Sir,-I note a request for a further news session. At present we have sessions at all the main listening periods of the day, viz., 6.0 a.m., 7.0 a.m., 8.45 a.m., 12.15 p.m., 1.15 p.m., 6.15 p.m., 7.0 p.m., 9.0 p.m., and 11.0 p.m. We also have, and had long before radio, a perfectly good daily press, which gives a fuller and more complete news service without distractions to others who have already heard or read it. Broadcasts intended for Africa, the Americas, and the East are practically identical with our own, but are all picked up and re-broadcast to us. The result is that a listener seeking entertainment during the main listening hours has to listen to nine repetitions of the same "news" or else turn his set off. The old slogan may well be applied here: " Enough is as good as a feast."
