The guest announcer of a Saturday morning cannot give a balance to the music played; he must continue to play music that jangles the nerves.

Then you have news and news reviews every half hour, which is not too bad in the morning but it continues for the entire 24 hours, repeat after repeat. 

They are not satisfied with brainwashing with news on the radio, they have the news app, Channel 4 news 24 hours a day, then on the entertaining(?) Channel 1 they start with news and news reports from 6am till 9am, then news from noon till 1pm and news again from 5pm till 6pm. They start the night with news from 7pm till 8pm with another burst at 8.30pm.

This does not leave much time for them to show the only programs they can afford after paying all the newsreaders and reporters. Repeats of repeats in the evening and then repeats of the repeats next day. 

Write to the head office of the ABC and they tell you, after a month’s delay in replying, this is what country people want. 

I have not been asked. Has anybody else in the Central West?
