Another Use for the Board's Income

To the Editor. Sir,-I noticed in last week’s "Radia Record" where one who signs himself "C, Radio," puts forth the opinion that there are too many B stations on the air, when 4YA is also transmitting. When he made that statement did he take into consideration that everyone may not care for the programme being put on by three of those stations, and that it is very pleasing to be able to "switch over" to the other one to see if it suits? , I also notice that he says there is room for improvement in the programmes of B stations, . Certainly nothing is so good that it cannot be better, but I think radio listeners will agree with me that many of the B ‘station programmes, not only in Dunedin, are often infinitely brighter and better than those of the Y.A. stations. I suggest that the YA stations should use some of their 100,000 30/-’s in brightening up the programmes. Many people would be glad to hear that such deadly dirges as "Down Among the Dead Men" were placed deep down beside "Massa in de Cold, Cold Ground." ‘ ‘ There should then be enough money left out of the £150,000 yearly derived from listeners to pay for some of the muchneeded improvements as regards interference, ete., ae
