3: Is the BBC Fair to Women* More women than men listen to radio. Their interests are catered for in a variety of programmes ranging from Woman's Hour to Petticoat Line. But is there a tendency in BBC programmes 1.0 patronise, or in some cases <.ven disregard, women listeners? There are, for example, very few women reporters and no women news-readers.
Among those taking part in this discussion are MOLLIE LEE. Editor of Woman's Hour for five years: ANNE NIGHTINGALE , the only girl disc-jockey on Radio; and a group of women listeners with a critical point of view.
