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.

this program service he made available during nighttime hours (^xs. 397-402). Another typical station is Station UCAL, licensed at St. Olaf College, North- field, Minnesota, This station was first licensed in 1922, following the establishment of an experimental station in 1918 at the college (E. 6093). Since it has been on the air, it has been the consistent aim of UCAL to pre¬ sent a broadcast service to meet the needs of its service area (R. 6096). Its record throughout the years speaks for itself. Today, UCAL devotes a substan¬ tial portion of its time to agricultural programs presented in conjunction with local county agents and the University Farm Extension Service (R. 6096 - 6097). Over its facilities are heard the nationally famous choir and other musical organizations of St. Olaf College, and the musical groups of other organizations as they participate in the annual Musical Festival at St. Olaf College (R. 6097). From this station listeners may hear educational, religious, and other types of programs unavailable over any other station (R. 6097 - 6099). The record contains innumerable illustrations of the unique program ser¬ vices offered and proposed to be offered by Station KUOM, licensed to the University of Minnesota (R. 6066 - 6074); Station K0AG-, authorized to Oklahoma A and M. College (R. 6079 - 6087); Station UNYC, licensed to the City of Hew York (R, 6101 - 6111); Station UMAD, licensed to the University of^Oklahoma, (R. 6114- 6118); and each of the other NA33 stations scattered throughout the United States. However, bccau.se of the limited time that these stations are now permitted to operate, the listeners in their respective service arehs are deprived of this unique program service at nighttime. The record in this proceeding of¬ fers a large n n mber of instances in which these stations cannot broadcast
