NAB reports (Mar-Dec 1933)

REVIEW OF RADIO CASES ALLOWED The United States Supreme Court has granted petitions for re¬ view of the cases brought by the Federal Radio Commission vs. Nelson Brothers Bond & Mortgage Company, and the Federal Radio Commission vs. North Shore Church, and it is expected that these cases will be argued in the Court during the week of April 10. PETITIONS REHEARING IN WOQ CASE The Federal Radio Commission on March 28 petitioned the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia for a rehearing in the WOQ case, Kansas City, Missouri (Docket No. 5582). The Commission in its petition alleges that the decision was based upon a mistake of fact. BRIEF FILED IN WLOE CASE The Federal Radio Commission on March 27 filed its brief in the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia in the case of William S. Pote against the Commission (Docket No. 5605). The case arises out of an appeal from a decision of the Commission, in which the Commission denied an application for involuntary assignment of license of Station WLOE, Boston Broadcasting Com¬ pany, Boston, Massachusetts, to William S. Pote. N. A. C. R. E. ASSEMBLY MAY 19 The annual assembly of the National Advisory Council on Radio in Education will be held at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York on Friday, May 19, 1933. The subject of this year’s assembly is “The Future of Educational Broadcasting in the United States.” Sessions will be held all day long beginning 9:30 A. M. Details of the program will be announced within a week or two. All persons interested in this subject have been invited to attend. RECOMMENDS DENIAL OF LICENSE RENEWAL Application of Station KGIX, Las Vegas, Nev., for renewal of license and for changing equipment and moving station. Report No. 467 (Hyde, E.). Report recommends applications be denied. The Examiner found that the applicant’s showing does not afford reasonable assurance that he will be able to comply with the Commission’s regulations regarding equipment and operating standards if the station is relicensed. “In this situation,” the Ex¬ aminer says, “the only logical recommendation is that both appli¬ cations be denied.” RADIO EMPLOYMENT UP The February radio employment index number was 61.9 com¬ pared with 57.9 for January and 72 for February of last year taking 1926 at 100, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor. February pay roll index for the same industry was 45.5 com¬ pared with 41.9 for January and 61.4 for February of last year. N. Y. GROSS RECEIPTS TAX The Buckley Bill (S.1199) imposing a five per cent tax on gross receipts of broadcasting stations was reported favorably by Senate Taxation Committee on March 29th and is now before the New York Senate. The New York State Committee of Broadcasters is actively engaged in opposing this legislation. HORSE RACING BROADCASTS The law authorizing and regulating horse racing in the State of Washington was approved by the Governor on March 3, 1933. Section 11 of this law provides as follows: “All radio broadcasting rights, and motion picture rights in connection with meets licensed hereunder, are reserved to the state and the commission shall lease or license same only to the highest bidder. The exercise of such rights shall at all times be under the supervision of the commis¬ sion. All income therefrom shall be paid into the state treasury and credited to the old-age pension fund.” FOREIGN BROADCAST STATIONS LISTED According to a recent release by the Federal Radio Commission (No. S140) the following Broadcasting stations are authorized to operate in Canada, Cuba and Mexico: CANADIAN BROADCASTING STATIONS* 540 CKOK Windsor, Ontario 1000 580 CHMA Edmonton, Alberta 250 580 CFCY Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island 580 CKUA Edmonton, Alberta 500 580 CKCL Toronto, Ontario 500 600 CNRO Ottawa, Ontario 500 630 CKTB Near Fruitland, Ontario 1000 Day, 500 Night 630 CKOC Near Fruitland, Ontario 1000 Day, 500 Night 630 CHCS Near Fruitland, Ontario 1000 Day, 500 Night 630 CJGX Yorkton, Saskatchewan 500 630 CFCT Victoria, British Columbia 50 630 CNRA Moncton, New Brunswick 500 645 CKCR Waterloo, Ontario 100 645 CHRC Quebec 100 645 CKCI Quebec 100 665 CHWK Chilliwack, British Columbia 100 665 CJRM Old City, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan 500 665 CJRW Fleming, Saskatchewan 500 685 VAS Clace Bay, Nova Scotia 4000 Day, 2000 Night 690 CFAC Calgary, Alberta 500 690 CJCJ Calgary, Alberta 500 690 CFRB Township of King, Ontario 10000 730 CKAC-CHYC St. Hyacinthe, Quebec 5000 730 CKCD-CHLS Vancouver, British Columbia 100 730 CKFC Vancouver, British Columbia 50 730 CKMO Vancouver, British Columbia 100 730 CKWX Vancouver, British Columbia 100 745 CJCA Oliver, Alberta 500 780 CKY Winnipeg, Manitoba 5000 815 CHNS Halifax, Nova Scotia 500 815 CNRH Halifax, Nova Scotia 500 840 CKGW-CJBC-CPRY Bowmanville, Ontario 5000 840 CKLC Red Deer.
