STATION 1YD
Sir,-"Blue Ears" has my sympathies with regard to the commercialisation of this station. The NZBS was no doubt reluctantly forced to effect this transformation as a result of the annyal accounts showing a loss. It would appear from these accounts that the National Orchestra was the greatest single factor contributing to this loss. However, the NZBS, in its wisdom, has decided to incommode the listener who prefers modern and light music, whereas it would be more logical to commercialise those stations which present similar programmes to those of the Naticnal Orchestra. Why should people who never listen to the National Orchestra be inconvenienced by efforts to counteract its loss, while those people who enjoy its style of music live in a world of bliss free from the commercial world? May I suggest that consideration be given to commercialising the YC stations with a view to restoring the YD stations to their original form?
