SUNDAY PROGRAMMES
Sir-As the power is shut off on Sunday mornings from 10 until 11, and the band music is on at this time, is it not possible to put the programme on earlier or later? We were in the middle of a test selection played by the Wellington Watersiders’ Band on a recent Sunday when off went the power. There must have been a large number of people listening in, so is it not possible for the records of this band to be played in the evening during the week between 7 and 9 o’clock? And is it not possible to have one station on Sunday devoted to popular music, something similar to 2YD on Saturday evening: not just a lot of rubbish, but a varied programme to suit the average taste? I think a large number of people will agree with me about our Sunday programmes, which are a mass of whining orchestral music and religious fare. A little of this goes a long way, and I think the Church is losing ground by. its attempt to force the people to take the fare they think we should have. There are enough stations to give the programmes to suit every taste.
