NEWS BROADCASTS
Sir,-If a merchant were to deliver to me a parcel containing, according to the accompanying invoice, 15 pounds of butter, which on being opened was found to contain 10 pounds of butter and five pounds of rancid fat, his honesty and that of his assistants would be very much in question, and his share of my business would vanish. Every morning, at 7.0 a.m., listeners to the radio are informed-‘Here is a recording of the broadcast received from London at six o’clock," and at 7,10 the same voice repeats the statement that the broadcast has been made, and stations will resume their own programmes until the weather forecast at. 7.15. The announcer, acting undér orders, does not say that the 6.0 a.m. broadcast lasted for 15 minutes. When is this matter going to be rectified?’ The analogy between the ‘merchant and the Broadcasting Service is obvious. .
MORE HOME NEWS
(Orewa).
(The broadcast at 7.0 a.m. is introduced as a recording of the ‘news received from London at six o’clock," and not as a ‘"‘recording of the broadcast.’"’ The 6.0 a.m, broadcast is in two sections-news from London, and Home News from Britain. The portion, Home News from Britain, is not repeated at 7.0 a.m, and is not introduced in the manner set out in our correspondent’s letter. The goods correspond with the invoice.-Ed.)°
