SOME FIGURES.
Sir,-On the classical hours we hear on the whole very good music, but in the sessions coming under variety, light popular and dinner music, everything is played "as it comes out of the box". The most neglected section however is swing. The following figures may prove revealing. They were taken from the programmes dated August 24-30, and represent the total broadcasting hours of
all stations. They are of course only approximate, as certain programmes may be grouped under different headings. Variety, 777 hours; News, 178; Talks, 165; Serials, 147; Classical Music, 107; Children, 52; Church, 33; Dance Music, 25; Swing, 7. Surely the large number of swing enthusiasts in New Zealand are entitled to more consideration.
