Buffalo Evening News seeks 1000 watt radio bid to challenge monopoly
The Buffalo Evening News will petition the Federal Radio Commission in October to build a 1000 watt station at 900 kilocycles, arguing that Buffalo Broadcasting Corporation monopolizes four local channels and suppresses competition with WMAK and other outlets. The paper warns a single firm holding four wave lengths limits public radio choice and urges competition.
