In the Groove
MORE than once I’ve met people used to working for the BBC who have been shocked to find how many NZBS programmes are _ pre-recorded They are sure they couldn’t cdo their best if they knew that only the technician was listening at the time. The habit dates, no doubt, from the time when recording took the place of non-existent landlines; but @€ven now that we have the
landlines I can’t foresee much less pre-record-ing. It is convenient to the broadcaster, who can do his piece at a time to suit himself, and economical for the NZBS. So long as the only off-set against these solid advantages is a cebatable psychological point pre-recording will continue, and I make no complaint, Complaint is justified, however,
when the recordings themselves are poor or worn. The recordings of But For This Man, by Celia and Cecil Manson, from 2YA _ were quite shocking, and put a formidable obstacle in the way of enjoying the fruits of some valuable research into
New Zealand history. 4
