Description:
The official newsletter of the National Association of Educational Broadcasters (NAEB) -- the predecessor to NPR, PBS, the CPB. Led primarily by faculty and staff at large Midwestern universities, the NAEB envisioned uses of broadcasting to improve society and educate both children and adults. The newsletter chronicles the NAEB's activities in advocating to the FCC for educational stations to obtain greater access to the public airwaves, coordinating the distribution of educational recordings, and planning the production of ambitious programs, such as 'People Under Communism' and 'The Jeffersonian Heritage,' which starred Claude Rains as Thomas Jefferson. This newsletter was digitized as part of the 'Unlocking the Airwaves' project, a collaboration among the University of Maryland, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Wisconsin Historical Society, with funding from the NEH. -- Stephanie Sapienza & Eric Hoyt, 2019.

In response to NAEB inquiries regarding possibilities of NAEB non-commercial stations rebroadcasting programs of the Inter¬ national broadcasting stations, we have two replies.. Mr. J. M. McDonald, Assistant Technical Director, WLWO (Cincinnati) writes.: "We have been authorizing a number of stations in the United States to rebroadcast the programs of our International Station WLWO, among these being one Educational Station. "We have an established method for handling rebroadcast author¬ izations which calls for the separate consideration of each application. "From our experience, we feel that £t is very improbable that any station can satisfactority rebroadcast our programs with the use of an ordinary non-directive antenna such as is generally available, and to rectify this, we have developed a design for a high-gain directional antenna of the "Rhombic" type, which gives excellent results on the frequencies assigned for Inter¬ national broadcasting. We supply the requesting station with
