Paughkeepsians tuned in on Station WKBG last Sunday, broadcasting from the stage of the Stratford. This affords theater-goers their first opportunity to see a real broadcasting outfit in action. The station operated for a week in cooperation with the Poughkeepsie Eagle-News Musicians, vocalists and public speakers formed part of the programs as well as local glee clubs, choirs and monologists who cared to participate. Members of the Poughkeepsie Chamber of Commerce and a number of prominent business organizations cooperated with the theater in its radio venture. Extra phones were installed in the theater for the "listeners in" with a special force of operators to facilitate the handlinr" of incoming calls and requests for special numbers. Should these test runs of the broadcasting service prove successful, it is expected that the outfit will be routed all over the circuit wherever there is no broadcasting station at present.
