Swings and Roundabouts
(CHANGES lately made in the ig, grammes of 2YA, 2YC and other stations to restore the balance of classical music available during the sessions of Parliament have worked out very well on the whole for Auckland listeners. Symphonic music is now broadcast by
1YX from 8.0 till 9.0 on Monday evenings, which were previously so barren musically as to make one wonder whether Auckland really needed four stations, There is probably a wider audience for this symphonic music than for the chamber music of the NBS string quartet formerly heard from 2YA at this hour, and now transferred to Thursday evening (which means 2YC when Parliament is sitting). Yet for chamber music listeners, who, though comparatively few, are mostly devoted and intelligent in their listening, there is this consolation-that Parliament does not meet on every Thursday in the year, and that 2YC is a fairly powerful station, well received by many Auckland’ sets. Those with more humble listening equipment may allow themselves to hope that, as travelling conditions sometimes ease up, the NBS quartet will be heard from other main national stations besides 2YA.
