Enlarged Schedule for YA Stations

Popular and Dance Music Receives Prominence

FFROM December 1 an enlarged programme schedule will come into operation at the YA stations. The rota which has hitherto been followed has proved very acceptable to listeners, providing as . it has. done a choice of a variety of entertainments, and listeners will cordially welcome the extension of the service as shown in the schedule published below. Devotees to the lighter forms of entertainment will be specially pleased. The schedule, according to which the programme organisers at the various stations prepare their entertainments is designed to provide listeners throughout New Zealand with the choice of programmes of the greatest possible variety, and is so arranged that, as far as possible, four programmes of different types are broadcast nightly by the YA stations. This specially applies to four nights of the week. A glance at the schedule will show that those who appreciate a band concert can listen-in to such a recital, from one New Zealand station or another, on any of the four nights, but on no evening are any two stations broadcasting a band concert. For instance, when a band is performing at 3YA a programme of a different nature is coming over the air from 2YA and 4YA. Those listeners in search of operatic and classical numbers on any evening can tune in to the station broadcasting that type of entertainment. On the Friday and Saturday evenings, variety and vaudeville programmes are broadcast ‘from all stations, the concert sessions being a pot pourri of all manners of things. Sunday evening is, of course, devoted to the broadcasting of church services, followed by an appropriate concert. The schedule of programmes published below is worthy of careful analysis by all listeners, In future, operatic and classical programmes, hitherto occupying two evenings, will be coalesced into one and will be followed by a session of dance music. Thus, one more night every week from every station will be devoted to a concert of the "popular" type. From one station or another, on every week night, dance music will be broadcast. Dance music will be available from 2YA on three nights of the week and from LYA, 3YA and 4YA on two nights. On Saturday evening all stations have a dance music session.
