W. Grant Radio, Ltd., here, will soon be installed permanently in its new headquarters on Mount Royal, one of the outlying suburbs to the southwest of the city, which is many hundred feet above the level of Calgary, as the city is situated in the deep valley of two rivers. The station will be approximately 3500 feet above sea level, and thus will have a higher altitude than almost any station in Canada or the United States. W. W. Grant has announced his intention of abandoning the present quarters on Crescent Heights owing to the fact that two stations, CFCN and CHBC, The Morning Albertan station, are housed in the same building, with the result that space has become insufficient for the many purposes for which it is needed. To Be Best in Canada The new Mount Royal station will have all the conveniences of an ultra-modern broadcasting station. Its broadcasting room, when completed, will be one of the finest, most richly appointed and elaborate in the Dominion. Considerable difficulty has been encountered in the past owing to the lack of available space in which to accommodate the artists who nightly entertain from CFCN. This obstacle will be completely overcome in the new station. Moving of equipment will st-Vt soon, it Is announced.
