Editorial

In times like these we are prepared to bear our extra burdens with a smile. But we feel sure our readers will join with us in raising a bit of a squeal about the new law which insists on extra licence fee if more than one radio set is installed in the home. If the money were to be used for a good purpose, we might feel better about it, but all of us know only too well of the way in which the A.B.C. has insisted on maintaining their worthless "A.B.C. Weekly", which drags nearly £1,000 a week from the licence revenue, is not read by three per cent of the listeners, and cannot even be considered as good publicity for the A.B.C. or its programmes. We feel sure that the A.B.C. would be making a far wiser move if they abandoned the "A.B.C. Weekly", even if they have to square off with Editor Deamer by paying out his contracted salary (and what a salary, too!) The money saved would be ample to allow the Commission to carry on with its efforts to provide programmes without this extraordinary licence fee, which con only have a negative effect on the popularity of broadcasting.
