SUNDAY PROGRAMMES
Sir,-I am very much of the opinion that a great deal could be done to make the Sunday programmes of 2YA more effective and more acceptable to listeners generally, particularly as regards the evening sessions. It must be admitted, I think, that the programmes submitted after the Church services are deadly dull. Who listens, for instance, to the News in Maori? Do even many Maoris listen? There seems to be such~ jolly good and interesting stuff both in the morning and afternoon sessions that is largely wasted, for on a recent check-up I have made I have discovered that very few can or want to listen at those hours. Could not: this good stuff be transferred to the evening sessions? I am aware that some of these programmes are sometimes repeated from 2YC, but I am speaking on behalf of a large body of country listeners. " "Miia ¢ There are many of us who come home from Church-and the Church-going public is not inconsiderable-who would appreciate a radical change in YA programmes on Sundays. These stations will have to do it, I feel, if they wish to retain at least their present very small percentage of listeners on Sundays.
