AUCKLAND AND WELLINGTON STATIONS
Sir-I have often wondered why the alternative week-end radio service in Auckland is so much ahead of Wellington. On Saturday 1ZM comes on the air at 11 a.m. with a bright programme, while 2YC does not open until 3 p.m. Then 1YX opens at 5 p.m., while 2YD does not wake up until 7 pm. On Sundays it is even worse for listeners to Wellington stations. 1ZM opens at 10 a.m. compared with 5 p.m. for 2YC, while 1YX is an hour ahead of 2YD. Unfortunately, 1ZM and 1YX are not strong enough to give good reception at any distance so that listeners out of their range can only look at their programme arrangements in The Listener and gnash their teeth with envy while they listen to the funereal YA stations. Surely it should be possible for 2YC to give the same service as 1ZM.
