REQUEST ITEMS
Sir,-I wish to protest against a habit which some stations have of "cutting down" on a listener’s request item, and only playing part I. Very often it is part II. which is most enjoyable, or even contains the end of a tale, etc. This habit is especially noticeable at Commercial stations, and during humorous items. There is little enough humour in life, and not nearly enough on the air, so why have it curtailed? One friend in hospital wrote to me and said "we love request sessions, and if only there were more humorous items we would all forget our troubles." ©
