‘Ballroom of the Air’

This is an appeal to the SLBC by an Octogenarian.
In the days of old when SLBC was known as Radio Ceylon, there was a programme which was enjoyed by hundreds of listeners and was ever so popular
I refer to ‘Ballroom of the Air’ This was the last programme before close of transmission
It was soothing music before bedtime and quite often pulled us into sleep.
Tangoes, Waltzes and Fox-tracts by internationally famous dance bands of Victory Sylvester and Xavier Cugat came to us over the Air Waves.
May I appeal to the SLBC to re introduce this programme at least for half an hour before close of transmission.
I am sura it will be enjoyed by many an oldtimer.
