Yankenstein
EFORE we leave the subject of Frankensteins and other monsters that have got out of hand, somebody should surely mention the U.S.A. News and Commentary. In the days when what America was doing and thinking was a matter of hourly urgency, when we needed all our news to be served to us piping hot, we were very glad to have this session put across from main national stations at the first possible ‘moment, even though it interrupted the general programmes. Can we not now relax a little, plan our evenings in a more orderly and consecutive way? At 7 p.m. we hear the Stock Exchange and market reports, followed by some local news items. Then comes various fill-ins until 7.30 when "God Save the King" ushers in the evening programme. Every evening the unfortunate programme organisers must find something to fill in these next 14 minutes before the voices from America come through, Sometimes reception is such that the voices are noisy; always it is necessary to make some adjustment to one’s set. when they begin, or again when "they finish. IG it is not possible to have them earlier, say at 7.15, could they mot be kept in cold storage until 8.45 or 9,30? Both the news programmes and the general programmes would have better attention from us if they kept themselves to themselves, and allowed us sufficient time to concentrate on them.
