Appreciated in Christchurch
In Saturday’s issue of the "Lyttelton Times" the following comment appeared :-Crystal set users in Christchurch listened in last evening to a concert given in the Opera House, Wanganui, and the reception in Christchurch was wonderful. For artistic merit the concert was one of the highest quality ever broadcast in New Zealand, and was one of the best advertisements Wanganui talent have ever had. The artists were headed by Queen Alexandra’s Own Regimental Band. The concert was relayed to Wellington, over 125 miles of land line from Wanganui, and 3YA rebroadcast. 2YA. This was the longest relay yet attempted in New Zealand, and the excellence of transmission was a tribute to the work of the P. and T. Department. The Broadcasting Company, too, exerted every effort to ensure the success of the broadcast, and its chief engineer was sent up to Wanganui from Christchurch.
