News Begins at Home
INCE the Viewsreel page began just fover three months ago, I have carefully watched 1YA’s_ evening programmes for talks, because a good talk always contains something that is worth passing on. Before 7.30 there have been "Back to Mufti’ talks, sports and gardening talks, and one or two other specialist series, but I have not once during this period been able to find talks by local people or visitors on subjects of general inteffest given from the studio during the main evening programme. I know that the spoken word is not very popular in some households, and by the time we have heard one or
two news bulletins, the BBC and American commentators, and perhaps a BBC programme and a serial, we don’t want a great deal more. But in keeping in touch so.indefatigably with the outside world, perhaps we are losing touch with our own community. Is there nobody in this city of a quarter-of-a-million people who could say something on any subject that would interest and entertain us for a few moments? One cannot suspect 1YA of harbouring a prejudice against local talent, for in the same period 29 different women soloists have sung to us from the studio.
