WRESTLING RELAYS
Sir,-May I be allowed to réfer to something which is very irritating to listeners-in, to wrestling broadcasts from Wellington? Here is an example: "That's the gong. for ee start of roufd four." Pause. "That’s the- gong," etc. . . Pause. Gulp. "That’s the gong," etc. This could justly be called "repetition of the obvious." If it wouid be possible for the commentator to listen to a replay of some of .the commentaries made by Paul Boesch some seasons ago, I am sure -he would benefit. Perhaps he will learn something when Don Arnold takes the mike. Yes, it’s "ittitating. Also, why do @tiors have to, mig#s the first round on ount of, ithe "weekly talk in Maori? this iter could be put over one of the auxiliary stations. Incidentally, I wonder how many Maoris listen to it, or whether they would not rather hear the first round of the wrestling.
