Private Enterprise
F Dunedin listeners will turn to the Sunday programmes printed in The Listener, they will see, squeezed into a couple of inches, the morning programme provided by’ a station which generally gets left out when these notes are being written. It is Station 4ZD, privately operated; its hours of broadcasting are intermittent, and the descriptions of its programmes are, unfortunately, misleading. For example, who would guess that by tuning in to’ something labelled "A World of Music" the listener would be rewarded by the sort of programme which should occupy the Classical Hour from the main station, and seldom does? For example, the other morning, finding other stations occupied with sporting news, brass bands, and somewhat uninspiring hymns from a local church service, I turned to this "World of Music" broadcast, expecting a succession of light ballads or salon orchestras. Instead, I heard Dukas’ Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring (with all the titles of the movements announced), and various other moderns, making an hour of balanced listening.
