LIGHT MUSIC
Sir,-In supporting whole-heartedly Mr. Price’s very able plea for light music rather than animal noises when light music is on the official programme, especially during the morning sessions before 9.0 a.m., please allow me to press the following point. Whenever a Gallup Poll has been taken concerning the preferences of listeners, the poll has
included all listeners. Now in the mornings those who enjoy crooning and jazz are listening to the commercial stations, where they are well catered for. Would it not be possible to discover the preferences of those who actually do listen to the National stations? During the period, some few years ago, when the YA stations were giving short classical programmes between 7.20 am. and 8.0 am., many appreciative letters appeared in your pages. Would the Broadcasting Service not like to give its more discerning public a similar pleasure again?
