Fishing The Air

BY LEONARD E. PEARSON All references are Central Standard Time

Program directors are perplexed about the broadcasting of phonograph records. Some of them frankly admit ii, while others may be hiding their secret and keeping the issue closed. Only a half-dozen years ago and even less listeners thought nothing of adjusting the cats-whisker on the crystal and the phones on the head, then sitting back to enjoy a program from a nearby station. Maybe it wasn’t included in each announcement, but no one was deceived. It was usually understood that a phonograph was being heard. A reaction to this type of entertainment followed, and just now it seems hard to tell whether the reaction originated among radio fans or broadcaters. People turned against “canned” entertainment, demanding the “real stuff” in “live” form. Every radio owner and many others know what happened, and no one is wanting to go back. Radio artists of countless sorts were developed; individuals, teams, companies; singers, actors, instrumentalists; funny-men, story tellers, and a long list of others. But thtre seems to be a limit to everything. Not that there is any shortage of material, for stations are not complaining that persons are not uvailable to make up their bills. Many of hese, however* are paid

for their services—and there's where the limit comes in. Conditioris differ with stations, depending upon the basis of their operating system, but many cannot afford, they believe, to expend the sums for artists they would like to for the hours they want to be on the air. The natural result Is that they consider resorting to reproducing machines, which, fine as they were a few years ago, have reached a higher plane of perfection. Yet they hesitate. They are puzzled as to the attitude of listeners. Will they resent phonographic numbers instead of those originating in the broadcasting studio? Or can this form of amusement be adapted to radio, not as the chief form of broadcast, but as one phase of, it? If records are used, which makes the bigger hit: Standard or popular numbers that are well known or a program of the latest releases? Many readers heard and others know that last weak WKBP instituted the Brunswick Shop hour. Those connected with the station and the sponsors of this hour were highly pleased with the response it received. It was a request program, and the requests exceeded the number that could be filled in the alloted time. • Fishing the Air would appreciate an expression from this column’s readers on this question. Do they, as radio listeners, enjoy such radio features? If so, should such be on the air in the evening or confined to daytime broadcasting? And are latest releases or older selections preferable? Send your letters to this department and their opinions will be used here later and passed on to the local broadcasters, as a guide to the tastes of Hoosier radio fans. Indiana’s only chain station has been given a power boost by the Federal radio commission. WOWO, Ft. Wayne, hooked up with the Columbia system, was authorised to operate on 5,000 watts between 8 a. m. and 6 p. m. and 2,500 watts after 6 in the evening. Formerly its maximum output was watts, although its station has a capacity for 17,000 watts. Besides broadcasting on a short wave band it will continue its regular channel of 1,310 kilocycles. This change and several others were announced since the new assignments made by WFBM and

WKBF of this city. Another Indiana radiophone, alco at Ft. Wayne, had its power reduced. This was WCWK. changed from 500 to 250 watts and from 1,310 to 1,400 kilocycles. Among other announcements made by the commission since the Indianapolis ruling was the increasing of output of WGY, Schenectady, and KDKA, East Pittsburgh. Both had been using 30,000 watts and were granted 50,000, the maximum allowed by the radio commie? .on. Songs that have marched down to us through two decades are on the air from WKBF for a half hour every Monday evening from 8:30 to 9. The program is sponsored by Lando’s, opticians and optometrists. Each of the N. B. C. eastern chains will bring to your receivers tonight features from the fourth annual Radio World’s Fair, which opened in Madison Square Garden today. Roxy and his Gang, will be heard through WJZ at 5:30 p. m. The ceremonies accompanying the program include speeches by Governor Smith of New York: Rear Admiral William H. G. Bullard, Federal Radio Commission thairmah, and Joseph A. McKee, acting mayor of New York City. This comes from the Garden’s “crystal studio,” as does the 8 p. m. bill of WEAF. At that hour the National Grand Opera Ensemble will give a radio version of “L’Amico Fritz.” The respective networks of the two key stations will distribute these numbers.
