Latest of these to

T00 FEW HOLD RADIO CONTROL,
Network - Outlet Contract Heart of Abuse, 2-Year Study Reports.
WASHINGTON, June, 13 (U. PJ). The system by which major broadcasting companies arrange for their radio station outlets concentrates too much power in the hands of a few men and is, not to the public interest, three members of the Federal Communications Commission said yesterday after a two-year study. “The heart of the abuses of chain-broadcasting is the networkoutlet contract,” - Commissioners Thad H. Brown, Paul Walker and Prederick I. Thompson said in a report to the full commission on their study of. alleged monopolistic practices in the radio industry. There are twovtypes of stations affiliated in the chains, the report said: Some are owned outright by the networks, others carry chain programs by contractual arrangement. All but two of the 34 high power, clear ‘channel stations, and all the high power regional stations thus carry programs of the National Broadcasting Co. and the Columbia Broadcasting System. Interests Subordinated “The interests of these outlet stations have been subordinated tog the interests of the network-owned
| said. It reached “the inescapable conclusion . , ., that National and Columbia, directed by a few men, hold a powerful influence over the public domain d¥ the air and measurably control radio communication to the people of the United States. “If freedom of communication is one of the precious possessions of the American people, such a condition is not thought by the committee to be in the public interest and presents inherént danger to the welfare of a country where democratic processes prevail.” 350 of 660 on Networks The report said that of the 660 standard broadcast stations operated in 1938, 350 were on major networks. Apart from the stations affiliated with the networks, the report continued, the National and Columbia systems in 1938 owned or controlled 23 stations, of which 15 were 50 kilowatt, unlimited time, clear channel stations. The committee cited these examples of alleged arbitrary and iadequate practices: . “The provision that the outlet station -cannot accept programs from any network other than the one to which it is bound by contract deprives the station of profitable business and the listening public of programs for which there is a demand. “The practice of requiring stations to set aside all or a major portion of their broadcast time for the utilization of - the networks,
J regardless’ of whether such time is
used or not, places an undue burden upon the outlet station and lessens the ability of the station to serve local needs.
ness cannot be less than those of the network prevents .the outlet station from entering into a healthy competition for adyertisms business.’
