ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS
XXXX (Hamilton): It’s always a nice ques« tion how much should be conceded to local interest, isn’t it? Here the question had already been given one answer, in the design of the original programme. Vulgar Boatman (Napier): (1) Such summaries (they do not include "all the details’’) must be taken by all stations in the link, Many listeners, more interested in sport than you are, would strongly object if their local stations were excluded, as they would be, by your proposal. (2) The schools’ broadcasts have their valuable purpose and an audience by no means confined to the schools. It is not practicable to offer a wider choice of alternatives than is at present available or, in your area, in prospect. (3) You are suggesting that there is a way of supplying just the type of musical programme you like, for two hours and a half every evening, without depriving other listeners of the types of entertainment they like; there is no such way. (4) The broadcast of Parliament is a matter of Government policy.
