In Islands
ACCORDING to reports published in New Zealand, the Government sponsored shortwave station, Radio New Zealand, has acquired a large listen ing public in the Pacific Islands during its first two years of operation (the station recently celebrated its second anniver sary) .
The programme-planners of the New Zealand Broadcasting Service claim that the shortwave broadcasts are especially designed for listeners in the Islands, and that they are assisted in their task by correspondence from many Islands, in which listeners state what programmes are, or are not wanted.
When the broadcast fare has been as sembled to the satisfaction (it is hoped) of Island listeners, the voice that puts it all together is usually that of Pat Earn shaw, Radio NZ’s only permanent an nouncer (he was the first to speak from the shortwave station, and has broadcast regularly since).
