FOR some time Station 2XA Wanganui has presented at Christmas a Hospital Request Session in which the patients at the Wanganui Hospital have, through tape recordings, selected and announced their favourite pieces in recorded music. Now listeners in and out of hospital in the Wanganui district are hearing on Tues days, at 8.0 p.m., Hospital Hit Parade. Each of the four programmes in this weekly series is contributed by a different ward and each is compered by a nurse from that ward. The patients select eight tunes from a list of 30 currently or recently popular tunes and the order in which they fall is determined by the number of patients who vote for them. When the idea was put to the patients and staff they were enthusiastic and so were the nurses who take over the announcer's duties for half an hour each week. The nurse in the photograph above is Suzanne Marris and the technician is Brian Infield
