Office of Executive Secretary Urbana, Illinois October 1, 1939 p KOAO STILL FACED WITH THREAT OF INTKRFEREHGE Word, of an adverse preliminary ruling but one which leaves the way open for final arguments before, and action by, the Federal Oommunications Commission has just been received by those in charge of the fight by radio KOAC to prevent sharing its favorable wavelength with an Arizona commercial station. The further action in the KOY-KOAC case in “Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions, H proposes to confirm a previous examiner^ findings favoring granting the right to KOY« Statement is made in the preliminary finding that operation of KOY on the KOAC wavelength would not increase objectionable interference “within existing good service areas.» Contrary to this, the electrical engineering department at 0„S,C, has taken actual measurements which, according to testimony introduced by KOAC£ show that interference to this 8tate~owned station would be increased more than 2000 per cent after sundown,, and that the night good service area would be reduced i to approximately 1 per cent of the total state area containing less than 5 per cent of the population. - Those in charge of the KOAC fight, headed by L. H. Breithappt, special representative of the board and the college, have taken steps to argue the case further when it comes before commission members personally for final consideration, FENNY A DAY THE AMERICAN PRESS for October had the following editorial, entitled, “Penny A Day“s Even with radio the public is getting very small pay, in the form of entertainment, for the amount of advertising to which it must listen. For if each of the alleged 26,500,000 radio homes would contribute one penny a day for raalo programs, a fund of almost $100,000,000 could be raised annually - enough to pay for a hundred million-dollar programs - enough to keep most any radio fan happy. Not that we recommend such a plan. For it is 0 enerally agreed that advertisers, competing for the ear of the public, will put on better shows than if there was no competition involved, ^ut it is inter¬ esting to note that each radio home is paid less than a penny’s worth of entertainment per day for listening to the radio salesmen.
