A Visit to the Radio Station

We visit many places in life still a visit to the radio station is always memorable. It is an important place which we cannot visit whenever we like. There is a definite procedure for visiting the place.

I visited the Radio-Station Lahore, last week. My friend brought two passes, one for visiting the Radio Station and the other for admission to one of his programs. This program was broadcast in the presence of an invited audience.

I accompanied my friend at eight in the morning. We reached the Radio Station at half past eight. It is a big and beautiful building, neat and attractive; it has a large reception hail. One can hardly keep account of the rooms. There are many signboards and name plates displaying the names of the sections and their officers.

For the first time I saw the announcer’s room. It is soundproof. No sound of any kind can enter its doors. I also saw the recording room where a program me was being recorded. I also visited the drama section. The rehearsal of a play was going on there. It was a very interesting experience to see the actors working hard to catch and convey the spirit of the play.

Next we went to the section which keeps everything going over the air without a fault. It was the technical section. Engineers were busy here. Looking after numerous machines. They make the different channels work.’ The transmitters work faultlessly because of these people.

After having a round of these sections we come to the place where we were to watch the program me. It was a spacious room with a small platform. The artists were occupying the platform while the rest of the room was occupied by the audience. Soon we heard the voice of the announcer who announced that the program I was going to start. Immediately the program I started. It was a- humorous skit, packed with fun and laughter. The show lasted for fifteen minutes. It was a highly enjoyable program me.

At its end we came out. I had now seen the Radio Station and watched a live program also. I, therefore, came home satisfied and the memory of that day is still fresh in my mind.
