WSGN soon will be the state’s most powerful radio station! This is rather an astounding statement which culminates a series of phenomenal developments. Less than a year ago, WSGN, Birmingham, was a local station comparing in power with Alabama’s weakest. Its first improvement was a shift from a high frequency to the excellent, low frequency of 610 kilocycles, which actually gave the station a stronger signal in many parts of Alabama than any other Birmingham station. Now, it will increase its daytimewattage from 1000 watts to 5000, and will retain its 1000 watt assignment at night. Although there are other Alabama stations with 5000 watts, there are none which have the combination of wattage plus preferred fre-q u e n c y, and these are the two factors KiTnPN which will soonJOHNSTON makc WSGN.,programs available to so many more listeners in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi. Station Manager Henry P. Johnston has done a remarkable job in bringing the outlet to its present high level, and his able assistant, Mrs Evelyn Hicks, also deserves a good pat on the back for her productiv« work.
