Helnl Radio News Service Exchange of programming "on a substantial scale" between WLW, Cincinnati, and WINS, New York, will begin on or about Sept¬ ember 29th. The date has been tentatively set by James D. Shouse, President of The Crosley Broadcasting Corp. , to coincide with "time change" when areas now on daylight saving time return to stand¬ ard time. Programs designed for simultaneous broadcast would thus be heard at the same hour over both outlets. At present, there is one hour's difference in time between Cincinnati and New York. Effective September 1, Station WDAR, Savannah, Ga. , will become affiliated with the American Broadcasting Co. as a member of the Southeastern Group. WDAR is a new station now under construc¬ tion to operate full time with 250 watts on 1400 Kc. Effective October 1, WLCS, of Baton Rouge, La., will also become affiliated with the ABC replacing WJBC, present ABC affiliate in that area. Owned by Air Waves, Inc., WLCS will operate full time with 250 watts of 1400 kc. The ruling of the Chilean National Foreign Trade Council that only radio receivers with a wave-band range of 535 to 1605 kilocycles would be permitted importation, which was to have become effective in July 1946, has been postponed for 6 months, to Decem¬ ber 31, 1946, or until radio manufacturers are in a position to produce radio receivers with the 535 to 1605-kilocycles band, if this date is earlier, according to a verbal statement of an official of the Chilean National Foreign Trade Council in Santiago. The National Air Races, world's premiere air classic, will be broadcast exclusively this year and in succeeding years by the Columbia network under the terms of a long-term contract signed last week which grants the Columbia Broadcasting System sole radio and television rights to the 4-day event, being held this year August 30th through September 2nd at the Cleveland Municipal Air¬ port. The Army Air Forces reported last week that radio, radar and other equipment of high flying planes and rockets will have to be modified because of the effects of cosmic rays and "other mysterious energy radiations". A radio set goes "completely berserk" when carried to high altitudes by B-29 bombers, it was found. The reports result from cosmic ray experiments being car¬ ried on by a B-29 converted into a flying laboratory which has been operating at 35,000 feet altitudes as far south as Peru. Station WAYS, Charlotte, N. C. , affiliate of the American Broadcasting Company, has received a construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission authorizing an increase in their daytime power to 5,000 watts from 1,000 watts on tneir present fre¬ quency of 610 Kc.
