NEW COMMISSION ACTS UPON MIDDLE WESTERN APPLICATIONS
Transacting its first regular business, the Communica¬ tions Commission disposed of the applications of several Middle Western stations. The application of TOBY, Green Bay, Wis. , 100 watt station to change operating assignment to 1360 kilocycles and increase power to 1,000 watts, unlimited time, was denied. Also the application of Station WBOW, Terre Haute, Ind. , asking for 1000 watts daytime and 500 watts nightime was denied. These stations asked for the facilities of Station WOES, Oak Leaves, Chicago, together with those formerly used by Station WJKS (now WIND, of Gary), as did WSBT, South Bend, Ind., which also asked for a renewal of license. The South Bend applications were granted with modifications.
Station WFBM, of Indianapolis, which heretofore had been operating on specified hours, was granted unlimited time.
The application of Station WGES, Chicago, to continue operation upon its present assignment, threesevenths time, was granted.
The applications of John L. Hopkins, to construct a new station at Hammond, Ind,, and WSBC, Chicago, for authority to move their station to Hannond, were dismissed.
Grounds for the Commission's decisions was set forth as
follows :
That TOBY, Inc. , provides a meritorious local broadcast service in the operation of Station WHBY, Green Bay, Wis., but that this applicant has not made as effective use from a techni¬ cal standpoint of the present frequency and power assignment of TOBY as might be made; that the proposed change in the operating assignment of Station WHBY would cause increased and objection¬ able interference in the reception of other broadcast stations, particularly Station WFBL, Syracuse, N. Y.
That no such need for the additional facilities appliec" for has been shown as would warrant the deletion of Station WGES.
That Banks of Wabash, Inc., (WBOW), Terre Haute, Ind., provides a good local type of broadcast service but that it does not appear that this applicant has adequate financial ability to make proper use of the additional facilities applied for and that no such showing has been made in support of this application as would warrant the deletion of Station WGES.
That the Oak Leaves Broadcasting Station, Inc. , (WGES) , Chicago, Ill., provides a broadcast service which serves the interests of the public of its service area and that this appli¬ cant is able and qualified to continue the service of Station WGES in an acceptable manner.
That the South Bend Tribune (WSBT) and the Indianapolis Power & Light Co. (WFBM) render meritorious regional broadcast service in the South Bend and Indianapolis areas, respectively,
