Big Time Radio Station Games

Big Time Radio Station Games

Sir,

For the last three weeks or more my enjoyment of cafe life has been seriously impaired by both the absence of music from Radio Active and the installation of the Space Invaders machine. If Active is supposed to be providing a student service, using student money, why don't they get on with the job? Sure, you might say, they are pre-occupied with their Capping broadcasting but this also is a waste of time. The signal strength is so weak that if you can cope with the static you might just be able to work out what they are playing. I've tried listening in Haitaiti, the central city and even Kelburn Parade, but the sound remains the same, terrible. Their primary aim should be to entertain students, not waste money on playing big time radio station games. I hope that resumption of broadcasting to the cafe is given a high priority, otherwise they should be closed down permanently and the money used in ways that the majority of students will benefit from.

As for the Space Invaders machine, its fucking noise drives me insane. If music isn't playing to drown it out I'm going to sabotage it, so be warned.
