SPORT AND THE REST
Sir,-I should lke to agree most heartily with "Hands off the Newsreel." The number of 6.45 p.m. BBC newsreels abandoned in favour of football broadcasts is appalling. Also what has happened to 1YA’s afternoon classical hour? At this holiday time, many of us who merely gaze yearningly at the programmes all year, are now confronted with "Musical snapshots" or, and this is much more likely and much worse, interminable race broadcasts. Another major irritant is the unfortunate clash of attractive programmes on Monday nights from 1YA and 1YX. It surely isn’t inconceivable that an admirer of Mozart’s piano concertos is also interested in the BBC Brains Trust series. To make the choice even more difficult neither the speakers nor a selection from the questions in the Brains Trust feature was included in The Listener programme, on Monday, January 5. Surely it would have been possible on this occasion anyway to transfer the Brains Trust to 7.34 p.m.? $
