RACING BROADCASTS
Sir-It is very nice of you to add footnotes to all those letters, telling "us when we could have heard the race results. What we want you to do is to publish a journal that will tell us . beforehand when and where we gan, hear them, The Listener, November 6, ‘told us to tune to 2ZA and hear "Racing Sum-mary-Canterbury."’ We heard the last four results-no commentary on Trotting Cup or Melbourne Cup.» Now you will tell us that we could have heard all this from 2YA at 7 p.m. But ‘how did we know that? Did The Listener give.us that guide? Is it not failing in its purpose if it does not do so? I cannot maintain a listening vigil; I can but tune in when The Listener tells me. Let me quote another instance. The Listener said, "2ZA, Saturday, November 10, at 12.45-Sports Summary." That summary was over by 12.40.
