Reception?

FOR three years now the Australian Broadcasting Commission from its short wave station VLR in Victoria has broadcast a daily radio programme to cater for listeners in the Western Pacific.

New features have been added from time to time and the ABC is now prepar ing a Sunday evening session to be called “Islands Nights’ Entertainment”, consisting of music and South Seas news and gossip sent in by listeners.

With a view to improving the service generally, the Commission is seeking the

opinions of listeners concerning the

standard of programmes and the qual ity of reception. Residents in the Pacific Islands are requested to send replies to VLR O/- the ABC, Melbourne, to the

following questions:—

(1) What are your most popular items, In order of preference? (2) What is the best listening time for you? (3) What is reception like at this time? (4) How does reception vary in your district throughout the day and evening? f 5) Can you suggest any improvements in the Market Reports, Sporting, or News ser vices? (6) Can you suggest any feature which you would like the ABC to present?
