BROADCAST PLAYS
Sir,-I wish to voice a protest to the NZBS about the decision to broadcast a series of plays from 2YA on Fridays at 8 o'clock. On a Friday evening many thousands of would-be listeners and playlovers, myself included, have to return to work, while thousands more have to go to town to do their shopping, and so are denied the pleasure of hearing these plays. The importance of these broadcasts has been emphasised by the Director of Broadcasting in The Listener, yet they are put on when there are the least number of potential listeners in the country available to listen to them, through no fault of their own. There are six other nights in the week to choose from, any one of which would be eminently more suitable than Fridav.
DENIED PLAY LISTENER
(Waimate).
(Though the World Theatre series of plays will be heard from 2YA on Friday evenings, they will-as announced in The Listener of August 29-~be heard from the other National stations on other nights of the week.-Ed.)
