Several Pats on the Back For YA Stations

To the Editor. . . Sir,-‘‘America for Me" will be feeling very satisfied with himself, after saying so many unkind things about our announcers, programmes, 2YA Orchestra, and stations. If everything connected with the radio service in New Zealand is so inferior, don’t listen-in. Stick to the American stations all the time if they are so perfect. Our announcers have at least one redeeming feature-they don’t speak with that nasty nasal accent, I fail to see why the programmes should be found so much fault with, for I certainly think the Broadcasting’ Board cater for our entertainment spiendidly, and we are well provided for. We have interesting talks, beautiful grand and light operas, delightful radio plays, soothing and Test ful divine services, amusing episodes,’ ’ splendid little dramas and theme pro-.' grammes, broadcast relays of all sporting events, thousands of recordings, humorous, light, band and classical, and especially those talented artists that have been touring the stations from time to time. If we had less perhaps we would be more satisfied, and know how to appreciate. it. The best of luck to our Broadcasting Board, radio announcers, 2YA. Orchestra, and national stations, especially 2YA and Mr. Clive Drummond, an announcer that cannot be. beaten.I am, ete.,
