CHOICE OF PROGRAMMES
Sir-Two correspondents, "Educated Archie’s Grandmother" of Wellington and "M.W." of Christchurch, have written you in recent weeks on the overuse. of the wide-band links at present being carricu out by the National Division of the NZBS. Ever since broadcasting began in this country it has never been run properly and this present set-up is just another step backwards The way the national division is being
controlled now, would it not be cheaper to have just one station broadcasting? You may say that this move would cause less selection of programmes, but I ask you, what selection have we now? If you don’t like what the: broadcasting authorities try to push on to you, then what say do we have? Should a person raise his voice in condemnation of what the Service is dging, he is immediately shouted down. Chances are this letter will never be printed, just because I am not in agreement with what the Broadcasting Service does; and yet we are led to believe that this is one of the greatest little democratic countries in the world. The whole set-up reeks of regimentation, red-tape by the mile, and bureaucracy. I could go on for hours just sup- ~ porting my claims, but what’s the use, they’d never be printed.
