\mm CITY rn HSAmjia: Seventh FM hearing to be ordered by the FCC — on Chicago’s 19 applicants for that city's remaining 12 available channels — v/as announced Thursday but date was not fixed and commissioner not yet designated to hold it. Ill fact, only FM hearing date yet set is the one for Boston area applicants, which Commissioner Durr will conduct there March 11-22. At same time the FCC granted 13 more conditionals, bringing total to 279. Because this small number doesn't warrant reissue of our Cumulative Log of Conditional Grants to Applicants for FM Stations, we list them in the next paragraph and suggest you simply add them to your Supplement Do. 27. We will, of course, bring up-to-date and reissue the Cumulative Log periodically as the number of grants warrants. This week's conditional grants and their AM affiliations, if any; Thames Broadcasting Corp. , New London, Conn. (WNLC). Metropolitan. Copley Press Inc. — Aurora Beacon-News, Aurora, 111.

WilSHlHOTOH ESES TV: Balked in ambitious plan to inaugurate Washington-New York coaxial with telecasts of President Truman addressing Congress (Vol. II, No. 2), . Dulilont went ahead this week and placed its experimental Washington station W5XWT on the air sporadically. It transmitted film subjects on Channel No. 5, using low power from antenna atop Harrington Hotel. Viewers on the dozen or so receivers brought down for the original show and installed in V/hite House, Capitol, National Press Club, Mayflower Hotel, FCC, reported images were of good quality — evoked satisfactory reactions from intensely interested audiences. Plans for elaborate telecasts, in which other companies will also participate, are still in the making. TV 'SILE2ICS' IH H. Y.; it appears likely New York may be v/ithout television for a brief period when WNBT-NBC and WCBW-CBS suspend operations March 1 to adjust transmitters to new bands recently assigned (Vol. I, No. 17). WABD-DuMont , currently off air until completion of Wanamaker studios, may not have installation ready by then. Judging from reports about delayed construction schedule of DvJjIont's new department store studios, about which no definite opening date is forthcoming (though "next month" has now been given at least twice), they may not be finished until a v/eek or so after the other two stations suspend. WNBT goes to Channel No. 4, WCBW to No. 2, WABD to No. 5.
