Frustration
-VERY regular listener who is ad- | dicted to YC programmes must | sometimes find himself muttering "How | happy I could be with either . . ." as he studies his programmés and finds his | particular choices are being broadcast | at the same time. Like Buridan’s ass be- | tween two bundles of hay, he must choose between equally enchanting alternatives, and perhaps resign himself to silence for the rest of the evening. There is, of course, the probability, as was pointed out in a recent number of The Listener, that he will hear the rejected programme from the other station at some other date. He is ‘aware, too, of the difficulties of a synchronisation of programmes that is not only local, but national, But, in spite of all this, when he sees that 4YC is playing James Bridie’s Mr, Gillie on a night when he cannot hear it,.and that 3YC is on that same night playing the second part of that same play, he is depressed, and feels someone has blundered, Is he wrong? He can hardly be happy with neither.
