PARLIAMENT AND THE AIR
Sir,--With the approaching reopening of Parliament I feel I must ventilate an old grouch which I have felt for so long and which, I am sure, is shared by many other listeners, If Parliamentary proceedings must be broadcast (I feel this question should be raised, too), why has 2YC always to suffer? In my opinion, the
2YA programme could be cut out or could substitute that of 2YD. Why always drop 2YC’s programme which, of all the Wellington stations, is almost invariably arranged to give listeners who appreciate good music an opportunity of doing so for at least a few hours each week? The regular dropping of this station’s programmes means that these listeners must lose their interest in listening to their radios. At worst, why not alter the stations" which are forced to relinquish their advertised programmes so that Parliamentary broadcasts may go over the air? I can’t think of any technical difficulty in this, and the great injustice which, I feel, is being done to so many listeners under the old method would be eliminated. I am sure that many other listeners feel
as 1 do on this question.-
