June 6, 1931 TIME SHARING COMFULSORY The following letter is "being sent to all broadcasting stations now sharing operating time by the Commission over the signature of James W. Baldwin, secret¬ ary: "Reference is made to General Order 105, which became effective at 3 o’clock a.m. Eastern Standard Time, April 30, 1931. "The attention of all broadcasting stations licensed to share time is es¬ pecially directed to Section 4 of the Order. All such stations which are suc¬ cessful in reaching an agreement as to a definite schedule of periods of time to be used by each of them shall reduce said time agreement to writing and file the same in triplicate with each application for renewal of license. All copies of the agreement shall be signed by a qualified representative of each station. "Broadcasting station licensees who are unable to reach a time-sharing agree¬ ment shall file a statement to that effect with the application for renewal of license. "Failure to file any documents pertaining to the operating schedule shall be considered as a defect in the application for renews o" license within the mean¬ ing of Section (l). Sub-title (B) of General Order 93. (Note., Refer Section (8), Paragraph (A) of General Order 105). " JGR PROTESTS WERC EXPERIMENTAL POV/ER Station WGR, Buffalo, N. Y. filed a protest with the Commission this week against the 500 watts experimental power which has been granted to Station WICRC, Cincinnati, Ohio. Both stations are assigned to the frequency of 550 kilocycles. Due to interference being caused with Station WGR through the continued use of 1 lOV by the Cincinnati station, the Buffalo Broadcasting Corporation, operators of the complaining station, alleges that station WICRC was authorized to increase its power without notice and without opportunity for Station WGR to be heard in opposition. Following this motion the Coranission has ordered the renewal of license application of Station WFRC set for hearing, basing this action on the analagous question v/hich has been raised by the decision of the District of Col¬ umbia Court of Appeals in the case of Station WTMJ, The Milwaukee Journal, against the Federal Radio Commission, in which it was alleged that StationWTMJ was being interfered with by a station in Florida which was authorized to operate on the frequency occupied by Station WTMJ without the Milwaukee station being given an opportunity to be heard in opposition thereto." EYES TURN TO RADIO SHOW The annual Radio Trade Show which opens at Chicago next week will hold the center stage. Television will be one subject which will receive careful con¬ sideration.
