- 2 - KSLH CELEBRATES SECOND BIRTHDAY KSLH, the St. Louis Board of Education Radio Station, celebrated the anniversary of its second year of broadcasting on April 8th, 9th and 10th. From a modest beginning in the spring of 1950, the station has grown until it now carries twenty-six class¬ room programs. Eighteen of these are original programs planned, written and pro¬ duced in the KSLH studios. The remaining eight programs, produced elsewhere, are relayed by transcription and tape recordings released by the NAEB tape network. In order to broadcast these programs the station extended its broadcasting hours this semester so it is now on the air from 9:10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily* KSLH programs have already received national recognition.
