April 30, 1932 aSANT YUMA M0?)6 Th« Coc8iii«siou granted the application of Station KfXY, Flagstaff, Arisona, to move to Yuma this week, althon^ the operating assignment of the statl , in the same decision, was reduced from lunlimited time to on® half time. 'Inin action sustained the recorsnendation of Examiner Tost, who favored the pronosal to move the etation (Beoort Wo. 351) on an unlimited time basis. In its decision, the Commission recognised that Pue to the closing of lumber mills in the vicinity of Flagstaff, the pomilatlon of that conmnity has been reduced by nearly 2,000 uacnle since 1931. In approving the new location, the decision stated there would be a greater population served at Yuma. It is expected tlmt the Increased audience will permit inrorovements in service, with the fiirther probability that the outlet will be more siiccessful fr?ra a financial standpoint. In concluding, the Yuma area should have the service proposed, the Ooasaisslon found a sr^ocified schedule of hours mitting nine hours dally operation would be sufficient to allow satisfactory oper¬ ation. I^AL P0^?H IWCR^ASKD The application of Station ’fSYB, Ifeitland, Vermont, to change frequency from 1500 to 1340 kc and increase power from 100 to 250 watts was denied by the Commission this week. Tlie recomsBendations of ^Ssaminer walker were sustained. (Henort I5o. 346). The action of the Gomraisslon went beyond, the recotunendat ions of the 1Ixaualn*r, however, and granted the station aputhority to Increase the day oower of the station on its present frequency to 250 watts. IRils grant was based on the conclusion that the territory served by the station is now without any service exce it th-^t furnished in most part by Station ^YS, and the increased dsy power will permit a broadening of the present service of the apulicont. It was fiirther held that the granting of the increase on the 1500 kc assignment would result in a more equitable distribution of quota facilities in the State and 9bne. Tie reason for denying the change in frequency was based on the interference which would bo expected to result to other existing stations.
