Here is the reason: A new treaty has been signed by the United States, Mexico and Cuba, requiring certain changes in the radio frequencies of nearly all stations in each of those countries. By this it is expected radio interference will be greatly reduced. For WLS we believe the change will result in better reception for all our listeners. We're telling you about this change early so you won't be confused; so you won't miss a single program. Mark the date on your calendar now — March. 29. Beginning that day, turn your dial to 890 kilocycles (89) for all your favorite WLS programs. WLS THE PRAIRIE FARMER STATION CHICAGO 890 KILOCYCLES 50.000 WATTS
