The stations, W2XAF and W2XAD, located at Schenectady, N.Y. , rebroadcast the programs of Station WC-Y and other programs of the National Broadcasting Company for reception abroad. These programs are sent over short-wave transmitters, and large listening audiences have developed in other countries, notablyin South America and Latin America.
The purpose of the applications is to life the present experimental conditions from these licenses, which do not permit the sale of "time" to advertisers, and the general commercialization of the programs, thus helping to defray the costs of the transmis¬ sions.
The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, operating Station KDKA, and associated experimental relay broadcast¬ ing stations has filed applications similar to the General Electric requests, and on the same grounds.
Reasons for the transfer from experimental to commercial operation for the rebroadcasting stations are outlined in a letter which accompanied the applications, from W. J. Purcell, operating engineer of Station WGY.
"We feel that the charges incurred in the development of equipment for short-wave broadcasting are ones which should be properly borne by the manufacturing companies" , the letter stated. "The state of the art has, however, progressed to the point where reception in foreign countries is almost 100 per cent reliable and the time has arrived when the high cost of operation and programs for such transmissions might well be shared by commercial interests desiring to use them for advertising purposes. It is not at the present time our intention that these stations should make money.
The application, therefore, has been made for a modification of the present licenses, as it is considered that the sale of commercial programs would also be experimental."
