The company which is known as the Pacific Broadcasting Company plans to open the network on November 1st. Commissioner Lafount was asked to make the dedicatory speech.
Programs originating from the motion picture colonies on the Pacific Coast will be offered listeners of the new network, which is designed to compete in the West with the existing national chains, the letter stated. The main studio will be in Los Angeles.
