PROGRAMME CO-ORDINATION.
Sir,-Though there are three stations in each of the centres, I am not able to follow the principle of co-ordination. Surely one should expect to have the choice of at least three types of programmes at any one time. The use of 3YL for broadcasting concerts by local societies makes it impossible for people at any distance to enjoy those occasions owing to the very low power of the above station. Could not 3YA take over on such infrequent occasions and 3YL broadcast the "‘news" to save interruptions? One wonders too why such interruptions as we had from 3YA recently are allowed to go on when a singer was cut off to allow the American Commentators to talk and later Dr. Bradshaw’s recital was ruined to enable one to hear the chimes. One must accept with grateful thanks an occasional programme which includes such great artists as Maurice Clare and Dr. Bradshaw in one evening, but surely the Broadcasting Service could spend some thought on the generally poor service offered at present.
