WMCA, New York — Examiner Hyde recommended (Report No. 323, Docket No. 1338) that application of Knickerbocker Broadcasting Co.. Inc., for CP to move transmitter from Hoboken. N. J., to Flushing. N. Y., be granted. Removal would undoubtedly permit substantial improvement in quality and effectiveness of signal of WMCA, and while there is a possibility of some increase in daytime interference with WICC, Bridgeport, Conn., he said this one objection seems more than offset by the improvements in service that may be expected.
