1ZM, Noo Zealand
T has been an adventure and an education to listen to 1ZM in American’ hands, administered not with any pre‘tence of consulting our tastes, but with the sole object of keeping American servicemen in touch with their home, and giving them the kind of entertainment to which they are, presumably, accustomed. Most of us have tracked down a few regular features that appealed to us, and these we shall miss now that 1ZM is restored to our own hands. But more interesting than the features themselves have been the vim and sparkle with which the station has been run; the announcers have spoken with confidence, warm friendliness, and flashes of seemingly extempore wit which lured us on to listen to sessions that would otherwise have been intolerable. This kind of efficiency may be an acquired skill, forced up by the terrific pressure of commercial competition between broadcasting companies in America, or it may be a natural result --
of good spirits and enjoyment of their work, Whichever it is, one hopes it has left its mark on our own service,
