The feud between WFIL and WIP— former and present affiliate of the Mutual chain—reached the 'sez-you- sez-me* stage last week, when Mu- tual's Land O' Lakes show with Soaks Carter was given to WFIL. Press statements of the latter station heralded the contract as proof that thera were 'rumblings of a sub-sur face disturbance' that possibly all wasn't ..well between Mutual and WIP. WIP came back with statement that 'rumblings' were from WIP's 'full-stomach.' 'WIP is glad to give WFIL any programs that it cannot take because, even though it is oper ating 24-hours-a-day, it has such a full schedule it cannot accommodate all the business offered. 'WIP is also glad WFIL is made happy by the programs that WIP gives, it as evidenced by its gleeful announcement of the acquisition of the Boake Carter show.' WFIL formerly was both the Mu- tual and NBC-Blue outlet here. About six months ago Mutual shifted it! franchise to WIP, but still has several of its shows on WFIL. . Yesterday (Mon.) Benedict Gim- bel, Jr., WIP prexy, announced that the station had become a stockholder in the Mutual web. THE O'NEILLS Sv JANE '.'VEST T I^IOVV RADIO S MOS'!
