Petrillo, president of the American Federation of Musicians, continues his ban against simultaneous music broadcasts on WM and standard stations, In a telegram sent to Mr. Petrillo, the National, Columbia, American and Mutual Broadcasting systems said: : “We regret your decision regarding duplication of AM (standard) network programs on FM stations. Your action will seriously retard the development of FM broadcasting and we therefore feel it is clearly contrary to the public interest” Mr. Petrillo refused to lift his ban AE against simultaneous broadcasts.
