POLITICAL BROADCASTS
Sir,-I note with interest and some sympathetic amusement the findings of researchers in Britain that most televiewers turn off political broadcasts, I only hope that these results carry a message to our own legislators. I have yet to meet anyone who listens regularly to our parliamentary broadcasts and. my own guess is that the power and technical skill used to disseminate political proceedings is 99 per cent wasted. In this district the parliamentary session leads to the loss of our only reasonable YC station, several days a week for about three months a year. Has any listener research been carried out in this country to see whether people listen to our House of Representatives? If not, it is high time it was. The results should
be interesting.
