YC DINNER MUSIC
Sir-This is a sad letter to write. It is about my friends the YC stations; they have a strange illness. When the first signs of this illness appeared I ignored them, believing that my companions were having some minor disorder; but now when I look back I can understand those Mantovanis and Kostelanetzs, which at first shyly performed in the dinner-hour programme, were the metastasis of a primary that has now spread to involve completely the programmes from 5.0 p.m. until 7.0 p.m. Can the surgery be done now and stop the malignancy from spreading to the other healthy 34% hours? But then there is a strange peculiarity with this disease: the patient rallies (no doubt with careful nursing) to perfect health on Sundays. Now what makes this persist? I have just thought that perhaps this same treatment might also be effective through the week. But then again it may be dancverouc and lead to comniete collance.

(The YC stations were never intended to assume their own programme character until 7.0 p.m. From 6 to 7 they play dinner music, which on YA stations would be interrupted by news, announcements, and so on.-Ed.)
