NAB reports (Mar-Dec 1933)

The Commission found that “the granting of this application would tend toward an unequal distribution of radio broadcast facilities among the zones and toward an inequitable distribution of facilities among states.” WHBD GRANTED LICENSE RENEWAL Examiner George H. Hill’s report No. 522 was sustained by the Radio Commission this week when it granted a license renewal to Station WHBD and denied the application of William L. Slade, for a construction permit for a new station to be erected at Hamilton, Ohio, using the facilities of WHBD. It was found by the Commission that Slade did not show ade¬ quate financial ability to construct and operate the proposed new station and that the population around Hamilton has good radio service available. The Commission found also that the showing of Slade was not such as to warrant it in withdrawing the facilities of WHBD.
