RADIO NEWSREEL
Sir,-Would it be possible to curtail the opening and closing music of the Radio Newsreel broadcast? This through constant repetition over the years has become decidedly tedious and bores one to listen through to the end. Also we listeners are not in the least interested what" especial number of thousands of them have been put across the air. If they need a record it could be kept in their own office files. The time thus saved could be put to a much more use=ful and pleasurable purpose, surely, instead of an irritation. One need not then say "turn off that thing." It must irritate you, too, I am sure.
CHANGE NEEDED
(The NZBS says: ‘‘The music of the Newsreel takes 23 seconds to play each time. It is an integral part of this BBC service and could not be taken away. It serves as an announcement that the session is at hand, and for that reason is appreciated by many listeners. We get quite a number of requests for the title of the music.’"’-Ed.)
