NEWS BULLETINS.
Sir-Though you were good enough to publish my letter on the above subject (November 12), the point I raised has not been replied to. I trust you will pardon me for again referring to it. We are still exposed to bombardment of what is usually a variety of noise which is enough to cause the old masters of music to turn in their graves, to say nothing of the punishment inflicted on living persons with any sense of real music. The point at issue is briefly this: why is not the five-minute broadcast of British home news which is heard at 6.10 a.m. repeated at 7.10 am.? When one remembers that the only other broadcast of anything at all similar is the 6.45 newsreel, it surely is little enough to expect that the little titbits of news might be repeated as I have suggested. There can be no question of tedious repetition, when one recalls the way in which sports results and other trivialities are broadcast ad nauseum.
