Morgan Kids Broadcasting; Industry; Delights Critic
( Jack Gould in "New York Times)
Henry Morgan on his premiere was at once fey, ridiculous and superb. With the relish of the real artist, he romped through the fetishes and inhibitions of broadcasting and turned them into an uproarious thirty minutes. While the ECC issues fancy rescripts on what’s the matter with radio, Mr. Morgan unerringly put his finger on the sore spot. The poor old thing has got to learn to laugh at itself. * * ■# *
It remained, however, for the American Broadcasting Company to have the sense to put him on the network (8:30 F.M. EDT Tuesdays). The Messrs. Noble, Woods and Kintner and other ABC brass no doubt will be called on the carpet by t be National Association of Broad¬ casters at its next regular meeting.
Crosley-AVCO Entry Quickens N. Y. City Broadcasting Pace
( "Variety")
There1 s a radical change on the way among the indies in New York City. The entire radio picture in this most important mar¬ ket, with 12 indies and four network flagships is likely to undergo a thorough alteration as a result of the entry into the field of the radio know-how and money tied in with the Crosley Broadcasting Corp.
That was common feeling in the trade last week as Crosley (which in turn is backed by the Crosley Corp. , wholly-owned by Aviation Corp. ) took over ’WENS formally at a$2,000,000 price tag.
The formal transference of WINS into the hands of the Crosley-AVCO people, occurred quietly. James D. Shouse, prexy of the newly-formed Crosley Broadcasting Corp., was in a New York hos¬ pital for a checkup of an old ailment. Robert E. Dunville, veepee and general manager, was isolated in a small office next to the WINS h. q.
One indie operator in New York and he!s one of those known for his fine programming summed it up thus: "Itfs ironical that it should take AVCO money to push New York radio to higher levels, after the way so many people squawked about AVCO’s absentee ownership and all that. But the fact is that the ShouseDunville team, plus the AVCO dough, adds up to a powerful challenge. It’ll cost us all plen¬ ty to keep up with those fellows. But maybe it will be good for all of us in the long run, possibly even in dollars and cents. "
