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.

The new quarters contain 3200 square feet of space and the rent is $900 a month. The 700 square feet used by WBEZ for transmitter site in the Morrison Hotel cost $630a.month. Dr, HeroId C, Hunt, General Superintendent of Chicago Public Schools, said the present quarters are inadequate and even if the new space is not used for the television sta¬ tion transmitter site, it might serve as a feeder point for the new Channel 11 station. "The new quarters allow us ample room for t ransmitter and servicing facilities as well as two additional studios and much needed office space," said George Jennings,Director of Radio and Television for Chicago schools. “Present studio facilities will be main¬ tained in the Board of Education headquarters at 228 N. La Salle Street, with a tele¬ phone link between them. In addition to this increase in space, station WBEZ now has remote relay equipment in Operation and during the current year will use school audi¬ toriums and assembly halls as studios for large pageant type programs, orchestra and hand concerts, spelling bees and other audience participation broadcasts."
