Early Bird Misses the Play
‘T HERE are those who go to bed early and there are those who go late. I don’t suppose the early birds are exclusively YA listeners and the night owls exclusively YC, but the NZBS seems to think so, since with few exceptions YA plays are put on early and YC plays late. As an early bird who likes to hear an occasional YC play I object to this. It would seem that the placing of YC plays is the responsibility of the
local programme people, and they can fit them in only at a time when there are no interruptions from national links, which are mostly music, and occupy some part of the early hours of most evenings. It may be that Head Office ought to see that time is left, and used, for YC plays at an hour which will not force listeners to stay up until eleven. But that is not my province. It is not my job to tell the NZBS how to give me what I want, but merely to say what it is I do want. So I repeat: I want some at least of the YC plays put on at
an earlier hour,
R D
