4YA to Open in September

A Model Studio NH new studio at Dunedin for 4YA is nearing completion, and the station will be officially opened in probably the third week in September. In point of actual fact, the major part of the equipment was ready for the official opening about the end of this month, but.on account of the extensive glass panels used in the layout of the studio, special drapings have had to be procured. It ‘was necessary to procure these from England, but they are on the Port Melbourne, due -middle of September. Immediately on arrival they will be. Maced in position, and organisation is now in train. for the official. opening in the third week of next month. Sa — -~r-ypy

The | new ‘station ‘will’ ‘Be equal in ‘power to’ Christchurch"and Auckland, and probably in operation will prove _to be more ‘efficiently workable than any of the existing’ stations, because "of the favourable, layout: The whole "of the studio ‘and: tratismitting ap--paratus ‘is housed on. the one "floor, "thus .conducing to. adequate and easy control. A ‘special. programme’ is be‘ing. organised for the opening night. and as Dunedin is, so far as New Zealand is concerned, the special home vf the Scot, it is not unlikely that the Scottish element will constitute a feature of .that programme. This will make the occasion memorable, not only. to Dunedin residents, but to those of Scottish extraction throughout the Dominion. 5 v
