COURT ”li'^'HODUNIT’ Under a Washington, January 14 dateline, the January 15 issue of Variety re¬ ports the following! "The U.S.' Circuit court of appeals for the 10th Circuit ruled in Denver last Saturday (11) that a ’radio station may not hy private contract limit its right or duty to select programs that are in the interest of the listening public.'

Pettey, WHN-YJMGM. ) Lyman Bryson of CBS says that the commercial value of the time given to its School of the Air series is''4l,438,091. We wonder Isrhat it would be worth to have it broadcast at an hour vhen schools could listen. Norman Corwin says that since the Japs lost the war, they've been introduced to the radio "soap-opera". Y/hat price defeat] "in an effort to put some practical information into a college radio course, The Chicago Radio Management Club is going to work with Chi’s Roosevelt College, and members of the club are going to deliver lectures." (BILLBOARD, Jan.18,’47) "Radio is moving in the direction of low-cost shows", says the lead in ^ Variety’s (Jan.22) headline story. Can it be that they're going to do "educational" featu res ?
