"As Others See Us"

Praise from Australia LETTER which speaks for itself has’ been received by 2YA. It comes from a radio dealer in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, and his eomments on the relative merits of: the broadcast programmes on both sides of the Tasman are very interesting. .The letter reads: "We have just been listening to an excellent programme relayed from Palmerston North, and wish first to congratulate New Zealand for the wonderful programmes it puts on the air, and, secondly, to endorse the remarks just made by some gentleman from Palmerston to the effect that people in Australia would be better served if their programmes were arranged by some company as in New Zealand instead of being under the Government, which we wish to add has caused no end of dissatisfaction here, As dealers in radio we have had to look round for a set which will bring in other stations than our principal Sydney ones in order to give satisfaction both to ourselves and our clients. Fortunately we have found a set which not only gives us the smaller stations in Australia’s main cities but will bring in Wellington and Auckland at loud strength and without fading. This fact has ‘proved a boon for our own enjoyment, and for business, as there is no doubt that 2YA, especially on Sunday evenings, tops the list in the quality of its progriimmes. We hope you keep the administration of the company as it is."
