May 21 Radio Doings 15 Radio topics of the Day /1 Weekly Review of Radio News, Thought and Opinion FEDERAL COMMISSION PRODS ANNOUNCERS Although intended for an entirely different purpose, the order of the Federal Radio Commission that each station announce its call letters and location us frequently as practicable while broadcasting and in any event not less than once every fifteen minutes, Is the first step ever taken In this country, to prod the announcers. Not long ago the commission issued an order that twice each day at the beginning and end of its program every station must announce the frequency upon which it is broadcasting. This was in line with the enforcement of the strict policy of stations keeping on their assigned frequency and wave length and so that the public as well as radio supervisors would be constantly informed as to what the station's frequency is and thus have an opportunity to check It. "Having made the chalklino." Com missioner O. H. Caldwell remarked, "we now propose to see that the broad. casters walk it." Now to further assist the supervisors comes the order that call letters must he more frequently announced. And thereby has the commission unconsciously conferred upon the distance listener an untold blessing. Who among the listeners has not had the experience of drearily waiting for as long as half an hour at a time, especially late at night, until some lazy announcer wakes up sufficiently to confide his call letters and city. MANY CHANGES FORESEEN iN NEWEST REALLOCATION It is predicted that there will be upwards of 600 changes of power, wave length and time division In the 60 -day license assignments of the Federal Radio Commission, which are expected to be announced to the public the latter part of this month, if not sooner. The commission began by issuing tent - porary- permits and making relatively few changes, but when the short time. or 60 -day licenses are subsequently granted, it is said practically every station In the country may be affected one way or nnother. There will be a sweeping reduction of power of stations in residential or congested districts. and some stations may have to divide dine two or three ways. Contrary to the original idea that these short -time assignments were to be announced at intervals, it is now exported that they will all be made public The com- at one time, anti fairly soon. mission, it deevlops, is burning midnight nil grappling with the assignments and remain at their desks long after hours each night. if, after the short -time license assignments are announced, any hroadcaster feels he hasn't had a square deal, he will be given ample opportunity to tell the commission what assignments he thinks he ought to have. Once the 60 -day licenses are issued the situation will be allowed to stand pretty much as It then is for that period of time at least. and maybe until Fall, before the three -year, or what the commissioners consider the more or less permanent licenses, are granted.
