RADIO AND THE PUBLIC.
Sir,-A recent Monday night’s discussion "What should a radio service give its listeners" centred round this question (chiefly): Can programmes be grouped to suit certain tastes of entertainment? For myself I do not want radio 14 hours a day, if I could listen in. I, should like the NZBS to set aside two evenings a week for a station in both North and South Islands, for the broadcasting of a recorded concert of classical music, vocal numbers, poetry reading, etc., from 8.0 p.m. until 10.0 pm. This would meet the wishes of many listeners. If one could get four hours a week of fayourite composers and celebrity artists I for one would welcome it. A Saturday night, I suggest, should be one‘ night of the two allocated. Also when presenting such’. programmes, let the service get away, from the streamlined presentation, let us fest between items, so that their worth can be appreciated.
