WEED, president of S/Veed & Co., station sales representatives, has urged broadcasters to ,adopt a plan of "Approved Servicemen" to answer recent charges inade in Readers Digest that many padio repairmen make unnecessary jrepairs on sets at the expense of i;he public. Mr. Weed's plan, similar to one already in effect at |WFBL, Syracuse [Broadcasting, April 14], calls for stations to make a tie-up with a reputable set repair service, certifying the repair service and running announcements calling attention to the plan. Associated Named ASSOCIATED RADIO SALES has been ajipoiiited national advertisingrepresentative of WTCM. Traverse City, Mich.. WHBL. Sheboygan. Wis. and W.TBK. Detroit.

Grignon, general manager of WISN, Milwaukee, to the station program director, Woods Dreyfus, following a special broadcast dedicating the new WISN transmitter, increasing the station's power to 5,000 watts. The program dramatized the history of the station since 1922. Harisoii Abantlons CP ill Augusta, Ga. Says Market Does Not Justify Three Broadcast Outlets ANOTHER victim of the FCC's "survival of the fittest" theory was revealed last week when it was learned that W. Montgomery Harison, real estate man of Augusta, Ga., who had been authorized to construct a new local station there to be known as WMWH, had returned his construction permit to the FCC. Action was precipitated by issuance of a construction permit for another local, WGAC, in Augusta on July 25, 1940, just one month before the grant to Mr. Harison. This gave Augusta, a city of approximately 66,000 inhabitants, three stations— the third, WRDW, having been in operation for several years. Not Enough Business In a letter to the Commission, Mr. Harison's attorneys stated that the permitee was relinquishing his construction permit because there already were two stations in Augusta and Mr. Harison "does not believe after careful analysis and due consideration that there is sufficient economic support for the third station." WGAC went on the air Dec. 1 of last year and is licensed to the Twin States Broadcasting Co., controlled by the o^vnGrs of the Aiigusta Herald, while WRDW is owned by a partnership of three local movie operators — Arthur Lucas, William K. Jenkins and Frank J. Miller. This is the fourth instance in which a new station was authorized simultaneously with another in the same community and forced for economic reasons to abandon the undertaking. Like WMWH, two of the preceding cases — WMVD, Salisbury, Md., and KFUN, Las Vegas, Nev. — surrendered their construction permits before going on the air [Broadcasting, June 15, 1940]. The other, KYAN, Cheyenne, Wyo., went off the air last March 28 after operating five months [Broadcasting, April 7]. Capture of KELD (Continued from page 55) did all the dressy introductions, and the captain, whose forte was Hollywood commentary prior to the Army, did a 10-minute chore about the studios. This idea was described as a sort of tactical exercise, a stunt whereby the enlisted men would learn what might happen if a radio station, an enemy watter, were captured, and they were called on to step in and run it as a propaganda medium. It is to the Army's credit that no program got behind, every station break was on time, and no advertiser's commercial was flubbed. The effect on El Dorado was pronounced. It is understood that the mayor sent a long and flowery letter on the "maneuver" to Gen. Lear, saying it was the greatest goodwill venture by the Army he had ever seen. Tailor-made Coverage in the Intermountain Market with 5000 watts Wiedmann Spots GEORGE WIEDMANN BREWING Co., Newport, Ky., is conducting a campaign of one-minute transcribed announcements, delivered by Milton Cross, on WFBM, WKBN, WBNS, WHIG, WMMN, WGKV, WPAR, WSAI, WCITy. Discs were cut by the NBC Radio Recording Division, New York. Strauchen & McKim, Cincinnati handles the account. POPULAR Scdt Loke City Representative: ;i JOHN HAIR & CO. HOW TO IDENTIFY The simple honest tenets of an imperishable belief in our democracy find full expression over WHOM. The voices speak in eight different languages but regardless of the tongue they never deviate from the one basic idea that this is the land of freedom regardless of race, religion or national origin. * A LISTENING AUDIENCE OF 5,000,000 PEOPLE THEY WELCOME NEW IDEAS, SATISFACTORY SERVICES WHOM 1480 KILOCYCLES FULL TIME OPERATION 29 WEST 57TH ST., NEW YORK Telephone Plaza ^-4204 JOSEPH LANG, Manager a — B AMERICA'S LEADING FOREIGN LANGUAGE STATION Broadcasting • Broadcast Advertising September 22^ 1941 • Page 57
