V/HO's WHO iH TELEVISION: What manner of men, what kind of capital, will go into television?
We gave you detailed data on the 9 existing stations and CP holders in our Supplement No. 1. Last week, we gave you a who's who of the 126 applications on file with the FCC as of Sept. 22 (Part A, Supplement No. 8 — as corrected).
The names among those 126 TV applications are indicative of what to expect among the new faces and old, the new capital and old, v/ho will comprise the TV broadcasting industry when it really gets under way.
As expected, of the applications for TV facilities, all but a few — 54 to be exact — are from AM broadcasters. Most of these 34 are newspaper publishers. Actually, newspaper publishers, after AM broadcasters, lead among the TV applicants, for there are applications for 39 stations from publishers, some of them already in AM.
Next to publishers are radio manufacturers and motion picture interests. Manufacturers are asking for 15 stations; motion picture people, 14.
Among the manufacturers, DuMont , already; operating in New York, seeks stations also in Washington and Pittsburgh; Philco . with a license in Philadelphia, asks for two others, in Washington and New York; Raythe on. in Chicago, New York and Waltham, Mass.; Westinghouse, in Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh; Crosley. in Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton.
The 14 applications from the motion picture industry include:
Paramount , which already has holdings in DuMont's WABD, New York; Balaban & Katz's WBKB, Chicago; Television Production Inc.'s W6XYZ, Los Angeles, seeks additional outlets in Boston and Detroit.
Twentieth Century-Fox asks for stations in New York and Los Angeles, and may add Boston.
Loew's (MGM) wants outlets in New York, Washington and Los Angeles.
Howard Hughes, motion picture-aircraft tycoon, asks for stations in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Department store interests, largely newcomers to radio, ask for 12 TV stations.
