BEFORE OR AFTER
Sir,-Should the titles of records be announced before or after they are played from the radio stations? During the day most radios ate just a means of providing background music for household duties; similarly, they are companions for car drivers, travellers, and so on. Every so often a record is heard that makes one pause to listen: a catchy melody;-a singer perhaps (wonder who he is?), or some tantalising air the title of which completely eludes one -Now, I know that tune as well as anything, but just can’t think of its name! Will the announcer say what it was?
Not he! He proceeds to. give the name of the next record. . The above happens over and over again. Admittedly some stations do announce after the record some of the time, but could not they all do it all the time? Some listeners may argue that they prefer to know what they are going to hear rather than what they have heard. Well, if necessary, lete the titles be given before, but most certainly afterwards as well.
