Advisory Council

Appointment Wanted A PROTEST at the delay in setting up a radio advisory council has been forwarded to the acting-general manager of the Broadcasting Board by the North Taranaki Radio Society in the following terms :-‘This executive views with concern the delay in the setting up of an advisory council as provided in the Broadcasting Act; the society is of opinion that such delay is prejudicial to the best interests of listeners, and submits with deference that the appointments as required by law as embodied in the Broadcasting Act should be made forthwith so that the council may function at the earliest possible date." The society is also sending a letter to the board advocating a resumption of international musical programmes, which are considered better than "much that goes over the air from#the YA stations under the guise of music or humour." The society considers that much of the criticism of recorded programmes comes from a critical metropolitan minority. [As our editorial last week showed the delay lies in political circles, and not at the door of the Board. We understand the Council’s appointment is expected at any time now.-EHd.]*y
