'Programmes Like Monday's Have Broadcast Appeal'

To the Editor, Sir-Monday night’s programme from 2YA was O.K, We enjoyed it

immensely. Tom Walls and Co, were fine, Will Yates at his best. The featurettes were good, and Morgan Davis’s descriptive presentation R77, I venture to say that programmes such as Monday’s must have the broadest appeal, particularly at such times as these, for they certainly do ereate some merriment. What about "The Imp" as a programme-fixer, for I notice from his page that he selects as prize winners humorous items such as Topsy Turvey Week, ete, I would like to know what B station listeners thought of Monday’s programme if any happened to be in on it. If I may judge, that is the type of programme they prefer. Further, if the B listeners’ supply is cut off at its source, and they have to contend with programmes such as the YA for the last three nights, the board will be overwhelmed with a _ veritable sirocco. If the board intend to operate 2ZW they would be well advised to turn it into a comedy house, fuil speed, full time, full blast, and they would find all the "squealers" with their fangs drawn and everybody satisfied. Clive Drummond would make a station of this kind famous, and _ incidentally enjoy himself.-I am, etc.,
