SUNDAY PROGRAMME
Sir,-If the new National Sunday Programme is, to use the words of your announcement, "a more effective combination of national. and regional. programmes of the NZBS," its extension to include Mondays, and eventually the rest of the week, would, presumably, be more effective still. I would like to be informed what gain there is to taxpayer listeners to compensate for this drastic narrowing of listening choice. How much overtime is being
saved, how many programme organisers have beén dispensed with, or isthe radio licence fee to be abolished? —
EDUCATED ARCHIE'S
GRANDMOTHER
(Wellington
(The official reply to this letter is as follows: "The quotation is incomplete and misleading. What was said was that this devel ent, ‘like previous experiments,’ is aimed to about a more effective combination of national and regional programmes. ‘Educated Archie’s Grandmother’s’ presumption far outstrips any theory or intention of the Service. Information on the administrative points raised may be expected to be made generally available in due course. The Service is not financed out of taxation, and never has been; it is a large taxpayer."’-Ed.)
