Treasure Hunt
HEN an hour’s good programme has been planned under the unrevealing title "Classical Recitals," I can never sea why the job is not completed by an announcement of details at the beginning of the hour. Station 1YX runs such sessions on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9.0 p.m. and the details of these programmes are supposed to be given at 6.0 p.m. This is a bad hour for most of us, and as 1YX does not begin transmission until 5.0 p.m., ceases from 5.15 to 5.45 for power conservation, transmits from 5.45 till 6.0, and then has an hour’s rest until 7.0, it is quite troublesome to be there at 6.0. Added to which the announcements are not always made then, nor are they always accurate. Further, 1YA’s afternoon programme of classical music is also worth two minutes’ announcing at 2.30. This, little extra trouble on the part of the station would save a good deal of fidgeting and argument in many households. After all, we are not all omnivorous where classical music is concerned, and we have other competing interests.
