Letter: Radio 5 proposals wrong-headed

Sir: In support of a policy for maintaining good children's radio, I can only repeat my oft-quoted story of the child asked to compare sound and television: 'I like television but the pictures on radio are better.' Perhaps some people may be persuaded more by the obvious benefit to children's eyes than the need for stimulating their imagination.

Yours faithfully,
