Broadcasting Telecasting (Jan-Mar 1962)

Yoshida, our president (in Tokyo), informing him of the help you have exi ended to us in the past. Please let me know when we can be of help to you in Japan. — H. Yoshioka, manager, Dentsu Advertising Ltd., New York. Republic Steel story editor: We at WHBC certainly appreciate the Monday Memo of Jan. 8 from Bruce Stauderman of Meldrum & Fewsmith in Cleveland regarding the Republic Steel Corp.'s use of the Cleveland Indians baseball games on WHBC in 1960. . . . — Paul E. Gilmor, manager, WHBC Canton, Ohio. The radio factor editor: ... In reference to your editorial on Shell's return to television [Editorials, Jan. 8], your points are well made, but I do hope you have not completely forgotten local radio in your thinking. The Shell dealers in this area have never advertised on television and are anxiously awaiting the opportunity to return to the co-op advertising program they had on our station before Shell's venture into 100% newspaper. I understand this feeling is quite widespread among local dealers; yet, from your editorial one would not realize radio was Listeners Know That KLZ Is The STATION For IN DEPTH! even a factor in Shell's past or future plans. — Don Michel, manager, WRAJ Anna, III. Quality folks editor: Our four-station organization stands whole-heartedly behind Mr. Minow and the proposed improvements in broadcasting. We believe in quality and we are exerting every effort to bring quality to the Pacific Northwest. — Otto J. Feucht Jr., Pacific Adult Radio Network, Palo Alto, Calif. Tv stocks story editor: Fine story this week on the state of tv stocks [Lead Story, Jan. 8]. Why not publish a weekly resume of action in communications stocks in general— for those of us who like to follow them but find it troublesome to ferret them out from all the others in the Wall Street Journal? — Richard J. Lutz, Ann Arbor, Mich. [Broadcasting carries reports, when they are made, on the stock issues of companies in the broadcasting field whose stock is publicly held.] Jamaican mixup editor: I have read with interest the story about Jamaica [International, Jan. 15]. I am not particularly concerned with the negotiations between the U.S.A. and the United Kingdom about the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement. My objection is about the listing of four frequencies as being operated by Radio Jamaica Rediffussion (RJR) when in reality they are operated by Jamaica Broadcasting Corp. (JBC). At the present time there are two networks in Jamaica. RJR operates: 550 kc Montego Bay, 580 kc Port Maria at Galina, 720 kc Kingston, 770 kc Mandeville at Spurtree. JBC operates: 560 kc Kingston, 620 kc Mandeville at Spurtree, 700 kc Montego Bay, 750 kc Port Maria at Galina. Since June 1959, when JBC started service, it has used the foregoing four frequencies with 5 kw each. Since RJR started in June 1950 some of the frequencies and power have been changed. At one time RJR used 880 kc and 1 180 kc mentioned in the article. Some readers may be confused in checking the frequencies of both networks. Hence, as sales representative of JBC, I would like to prevent such misinformation.— A. M. Martinez, president, Caribbean Networks Inc., New York. [The assignments in Jamaica came, as indicated in the Jan. 15 story, from the listings issued by the International Telecommunications Union. The identification with Radio Jamaica Rediffusion (RJR) came from West Indies sources in Washington; they were, it is obvious, incorrect.] Thirteen CBS World News Roundups, News Analy ses and World News Reports Daily!
