BRAINS TRUST AND SPORT
Sir.-Have you ever had a smack in the face from your radio? We had one last Friday night. While we were enjoying the Brains Trust from 3YA, the announcer broke in with "We are now interrupting this broadcast to give an account of to-day’s bowling championships." Sport seems to come before everything else. For years now sports have had priority on the main stations. How about putting them on to the auxiliary stations for a change? This would only be sportsmanlike-to give the other fellow a "fair go." I have
been listening in to a programme of good music and the programme has been cut short to relay from a’ racecourse. How about cutting in on a relay from the next race meeting and saying "We | are now interrupting this relay to give you a recording of the Brains Trust conducted by Donald McCullough?"
