Dear Listeners and Readers:
Some to whom this note is addressed may have been receiving the CBC Prairie Region Program Schedule week by week for the past six years. Others may have begun it only last week, or the week before. To all, we wish to say that it has been a pleasure to serve you, and we hope you have found your Schedules interesting and informative for whatever period you have been following them. During the past six years, the demand for the Prairie Region Program Schedule has multiplied tenfold, and is continually increasing. The situation at present is that many listeners in the Prairie Provinces are asking for Schedules, and the CBC is finding itself unable to supply them because of limitations upon its budget for this purpose. This problem has been the subject of study for some time. To make Schedules available to the thousands of listeners in remote parts of the prairies who want them, and who have no other means of obtaining information about programs, the co-opera tion of all present regular readers is needed, as well as all who may subsequently become subscribers. In order to supply these Schedules, a nominal fee of one dollar per lIear (52 issues) would have to be charged, to cover the costs of distribution.
We have come to this conclusion with considerable reluctance. We have been glad to supply Schedules to listeners during the past six years, and thus, as it seemed, to establish an intimate and friendly contact with those who, after all, are our bosses the listening public. But the demand has grown beyond all expectations, and we are compelled to face the cold logic of the accounting department's figures. To gain an understanding of listeners' requirements, we are asking those now receiving the Prairie Region Program Schedule regularly to fill in the answers to the following brief questionnaire. Please mail the slip back to CBC, Winnipeg, as soon as possible.
Do you wish to continue the CBC Prairie Region Program Schedule at a nominal fee of one dollar per year? Write yes or no. .._mm ...... m Have you any suggestion as to new features or improvements you wish to see in your Program Schedule? __
