MAJESTIC CLAIMS NEW TIME-ON-AIR RECORD
With 1930 drawing to a close, the Grigsby-Grunow Company, sponsors of the Majestic Old Curiosity Shop dramas, Majestic Home— Maker1 s Hour and co— sponsors of the American School of the Air, will have set a new mark in radio history for a record number of hours broadcast under one banner*
Ray Erlandson, director of broadcasting activities for the Majestic Company, estimates that during the past year, 10,616 station— unit programs were presented under his supervision and under exclusive sponsorship of the Chicago concern. Between 10,000 and S5,000 fan letters are received weekly by Majestic as a result of its various broadcasts, Mr. Erlandson declares.
"The greatest number of listener letters received follow¬ ing a single broadcast was 55,000, the night Edgar Guest spoke",
Mr. Erlandson advises.

WBAL-WTIC SYNCHRONIZATION APPROVED
The first practical plan for synchronization of two high powered stations, WTIC, of Hartford, Conn., and WBAL, of Baltimore, was approved Tuesday by the Federal Radio Commission. . The two stations are key units of the National Broadcasting Company.
Should this experiment prove successful, more elaborate synchronization networks, by which several stations may operate on the same channel by means of booster stations, will doubtless follow.
The two stations involved will be afforded full time opera¬ tion under the new arrangement, whereas they formerly divided time on the 1,060 kilocycle channel. WBAL will be synchronized with WJZ, of New York, when WTIC is in operation on 1,060 kilocycles; while WTIC will be synchronized with WSAF, also of New York, when WBAL uses the common channel.
The Baltimore station now operates w ith 10,000 watts, while the Hartford station uses 50,000 watts. WBAL has applied for the maximum power, however, and would be among the stations granted the increa.se if the Radio Commission a.dopts the report of its Chief Examiner on high power.
Charles 17. Horn, General Engineer of N.B.C. announced following the approval that construction on the necessary apparatus would be started at once.
