Timing of Repeats
HE habit of repeating programmes combines economy with an opportunity for listeners who have missed a good programme to catch up with it on the repeat; but economy seems to outweigh the advantages to the regular listener. Topics for Businesswomen, 4YA’s Saturday morning session, for example, which could provide an oasis in a desert of light music, serial and sporting announcements, has in recent weeks begun to lean heavily on programmes previously heard, not in morning sessions, to which presumably businesswomen cannot listen, but in evening ;
programmes. Two examples have occurred with My First Novel, and again with Olga Sansom’s talks. These were good series, admittedly, but they have been repeated to much the same public, whereas the popular T/FH, heard first at the difficult hour of 8.30 p.m. on Saturday, is repeated to a smaller public on Wednesday at 2.0 p.m. This seems to suggest that the whole matter of repeats and their timing should be examined*rather more carefully than in the past.
