BUILDING, as It were, on the first appearance of this feature in the Digest, the advance programs are this week more in number and easier to use as a result of improved form. It is planned to soon furnish advance programs for every big station (500 watts or more) in the Digest Radiophone Directory (page 8). The form too, will be changed to meet with the demands for space as the stations become organized so as to be able to furnish advance programs with expediency. There are only fifty eligible plants. Already sixteen of these will be found in the "Advance Programs." Only features are listed below. Such parts of station programs as are regular week in and week out, are, as they have been from the start, found in the Digest Radiophone Directory. The following data on the stations for which advance programs are given, may be of help to the listener in:
