CHURCH BROADCASTS
Sit,-In reply to questions asked by "Eglise" I wish to state that my remarks on the above subject were made mainly as the result of observation and questioning of patients in a hospital for a period of eleven months. Of a floating population of sixteen patients only two have had the perseverance to listen to church broadcasts, -although many of them listen, or at least do not switch off during the morning devotional sessions and the semi-religious broadcasts designed to exploit the medium of radio and presented by the Commercial stations. I don’t think my assertion was unfounded. : Let us not forget that when a church building is wired for broadcasting it becomes, technically speaking, and whether we like it or not, a broadcasting studio, and that the church broadcast is influenced by technique to the same. extent as is any other broadcast, Piety is surely no excuse for inefficiency.
