NINE TILL MID-DAY
Sir,-Old bluebottle that I am, may I guggest that the NZBS run an auxiliary station in the pre-lunch hours in the bigger cities, at least? A dazzling opportunity for bright young programme organisers and a vast, exasperated audience lie in wait. To housewives over
seven years of age the arid stretchos of ill-prepared chatter that’ of a ‘morning’ insult the ordinary intelligence are to-day unavoidable.’ The listener is poised between the raw head and the bloody bones. Here is a chance-the nine till mid-day hours-for imaginative programmes to dredge the very depth of the tremendous unplayed stocks and give Barnabas von Geczy and Jimmy Leacha rest, Then listeners who flick from Correspondence School meanderings to Aunt ‘Daisy’s pneumatic drill and then flick off, who jib at the Devotional Service or the For My Lady fumblings; who loathe the crude, purple, panting emotion of morning serials or the gushers dragging you out shopping in a pool of' unction-all these would relish the forenoon stimulation offered by lively programmes presented with verve and a dash of inspiration.
