NEW STUDIOS FOR 2YA

GREATLY IMPROVED FACILITIES ALTERATIONS and improvements | _ have lately been effected at 2YA.Hitherto only one floor of the building has been utilised, but the demands of the service have now necessitated that the office staff should be moved downstairs, thus leaying more aeconimodation upstairs for artists. | Two new studios have been formed by converting the ladies’ lounge and the general office (on either side of. the station director's office) into. studios. This has been effected by means of large plate glass windows in the dividing walls and by the installation of an intricate system of wiring for microphone and switches. The wiring system is very complete. There is a main control panel in the announcers room, but each studio has its own panel of buttons and switches. There is a system of coloured lights in each studio which designate which studio is on the air, and, when required, announcements can be made and orchestras, bands, vocalists, or any kind of "turn" can be broadcast from any studio. The additional studios will greatly inerease the efficiency of 2YA. There will now be more facilities to aid artists in their practising, and the work- ing of the station when on the air will be greatly helped.
