Big Broadcasters to Fight Move to Cut Station Power
Washington, Jan. 16. Representatives of major broadcasting stations plan to oppose a congressional move to cap station power at 10,000 watts. They warn rural listeners would lose quality programs if high power stations are replaced by many weaker plants. WLW’s F. Clifford Estey argues high power stations build goodwill and cannot be run to harm listeners. He notes past protests over broad stations faded and cites issues with interference from aging equipment and inadequate crystal control. He urges universal 100 percent modulation to improve air clarity.
