WEATHER REPORTS
Sir-As one to whom the weather forecasts mean a great deal I am writing to voice a complaint and suggestions regarding this service. I have just (20.9.47) been awaiting the 9.0 p.m, forecast from 1YA and failed to receive it. I switched quickly to the other YA stations to try and get it, but without success. I waited till after the news with no luck and no reference to it, I would now like to make the following suggestions. I realise that there are a lot of people who are not interested in the question, but to those that are it is vital. I would suggest therefore that a schedule of hours be drawn up for the various YA and ZB stations in New Zealand so that it would be possible to obtain a Dominion weather forecast every hour during the hours of the brgadcasting service, and if this schedule was published in The Listener and adhered to it would not cause a great deal of inconvenience to other listeners, but would be a great boon to those who are interested. There are four YA stations and four ZB stations and if each station put out two Dominion forecasts during the day instead of three as at present I should think that everyone would be happy. 7. One great drawback to the present system is that a special concert or something of the kind is not interrupted for the forecast and one can easily be caught
unawares.
