GISBORNE LISTENERS
Sir,-Are any listeners in New Zeéaland as poorly served as the residents of Gisborne? There are 16,000 of us in Gisborne proper, plus a large country population, Often reception of the main National stations is impossible and occasionally 2YH is completely obliterated by static, power noise and fading. .We admittedly have two local stations, but the recordings are (from 2ZJ) at least seven or eight years old and I have actually heard two sound. recordings which were more ancient than most presented in a session from 4ZB noted for its historic interest. We are to have a new station during the next ten years, but what till then? 2ZM is undoubtedly doing a good job under the existing circumstances, but it is obvious that private stations can not offer services comparable with the CBS. —

(We are informed that the New Zealand Broadcasting Service has had plans repared for a number of years to improve the radio coverage of the Gisborne District. Owing to the war the Service has been unable to proceed with these plans as rapidly as would have been otherwise possible, but when materials and labour are available for building construction, it is intended to establish an up-to-date station to serve East listeners.
