Mr. Greenhow comes to KINY with a background of several years !spent in the broadcast ficld, devot- ing his particular attention to spec- ial events broadcasts and to sports and general news. Part of this time has been spent in the Pacific Northwest but the greater part of his experience was gained in Wis- consin and the great hunting grounds of the upper Middle West. Greenhow arrived on the Aleu- tian and has been spending the day oh-ing and ah-ing about Juneau and Alaska in general. One of his first remarks was that he had al- ways felt that Alaska was a field of ice and snow and that everybody wore fur pajamas. Of course, he ar- rived on a fair day. , KINY plans the addition of two additional announcers within the next few weeks when present broad- cast service will be increased to fifteen hours daily and the trans- mission power increased to 1,000 watts. — e McHUGH RETURNS e Frank McHugh, PWA Engineer- Inspector, has returned from duty in Seward.
