Extension Of Broad
Fbc Take Over In July
THE Fiji Broadcasting Commission
hopes to be established in its new home well before the end of June and to take over the Colony’s broadcasting from the Fiji Broadcasting Co. on July 1.
Hours of broadcasting will then
be considerably extended, with pro grammes throughout most of Sun day. Inquiries into the best way ot supply school and religious broadcasts are being made.
Staff to cope with extended hours is now being recruited overseas.
The Commission hopes to take over the organisation of all programme material in 1955, but until then will depend on the Public Relations Office to provide the Fijian and Hindustani spoken programme material.
Mr. L. J. Greenberg, secretary of the New Zealand Broadcasting Ser vice, was visiting Fiji in April in an advisory capacity on matters of ad ministration.
