RELAY STATIONS
Sir-The opening of a commercial station in Invercargill has introduced a new element into New Zealand broadcasting. From a brief perusal of the programmes it would appear that in order to provide announcing (and pro-
gramme?) staff for 4ZA it has been necessary to reduce 4YZ to virtually the status of a relay station. With the reactions of Southland listeners to this change I am not here concerned. I am impressed, however, with the possibilities of a similar set-up in some other districts. Here in Nelson, for example, 2YA and 2YC are often badly distorted, while other YA and YC stations are in winter at least seriously interfered with by Australian transmissions. The programmes of the local station, moreover, do not appeal to all tastes. As will be gathered, programmes of the YC type are often impossible to listen to with any pleasure during the Parliamentary session. The provision of a station relaying 2YA and 2YC programmes would enable listeners here to enjoy outside programmes and allow the present local station to continue with the commercial programmes which now take up so much of the time.
