4YA Dunedin Strengthening Equipment

Increased Service to be Given OR some time past improvements have been in progress at station 4YA, Dunedin, the latest being the erection of the new towers.on the roof of the "Bvening Star’s" new building. It is now, however, possible to make a definite announcement concerning the Broadcasting Company’s plans in connection with 4YA. It is only a matter of a few months now till Dunedin will have a station which will rank in every way with 1YA and 8YA. The necessary new plant has been ordered. In the meantime, the present plant is being moved to its new location on the top floor of the "Evening Star" building, and broadcasting from there will commence on April 29. April 29 will also mark the extension of hours at 4YA. A new timetab will then be introduced, and the two silent days which have hitherto ohfainedd will be reduced to one. In future, therefore, after April 29 the station will », be on the air daily except on Thursdays. With the completion of the new studios in the "Evening Star" building, which work will be completed by the time the new transmitting plant comes to hand, when the official opening will take place, Dunedin will no longer be able to consider herself the Cinderella of the cities in regard to broadcasting.
