"B" Class Stations and Copyright

Position Not Yet Finalised ‘ey our issue last week, in referring to the position between B class stations and the Copyright Association, we said: "We are given to understand that a statement in the daily Press (and accepted by us in good faith) allegedly emanating from the secretary of the recently-formed association of B class stations, etc.. .. is not fully correct." In connection with this statment, Mr. ' H. Booth, secretary of the B Class Stations Association, writes that he was not’ responsible for issuing the statement in question. This assurance by Mr. Booth is quite accepted by us. We based our remarks upon information which was in conflict with a newspaper statement. As was pointed out last week, the arrangement between the B class stations and the Copyright Association are not yet finalised, but negotiations are, we are informed, still in progress. One or two stations have, it is understood, effected arrangements; notably that of the New Zealand sta‘tion operated by. the Manawatu Radio Society, and we believe a station in Dunedin. 2
