Suggestion for 'RRI'

Suggestion for 'RRI'

From Media Indonesia

I regularly listen to the leather puppet show that the Radio of the Republic of Indonesia (RRI) Program One broadcasts every Saturday night on the MW band. Unfortunately, the broadcast on the SW2 band is stopped after 11 p.m. In Padang, RRI reception is much better on the SW2 band than on the MW band.

Another disturbing thing for regular listeners of the RRI leather puppet show is that in the wee hours of the morning -- between 00:00 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. -- when the show is the most exciting and at its funniest, it is interrupted for a news broadcast. As a matter of fact, most of the news reports have been broadcast earlier, even up to several times before.

I -- and the other regular listeners I am sure will agree -- would like therefore to suggest that RRI not broadcast any news during the show. The news may be broadcast after the show.

Another suggestion is that the show be broadcast entirely on the SW2 band to ensure clear reception, especially in Padang.
