GOING OFF THE AIR
Sir-May I make a suggestion regarding the cuts made in the hours of broadcasting, due to the shortage of electricity at the moment? When ‘broadcasting from the. family radio ceases, with a cut, it very often happens that no member of the family notices it-even if there are several members in thé room. If a particular stirring record were played each time the station went off the air, listeners’ attention would be drawn to the radio, and surely the turning off of radiog would be prompter and more regular, As it is, the radio simply ceases; the sound merely gradually dies away in an inconspicuous mariner. Naturally the same tune would have to be played from every station, at least within each town.
