RADIDLSTENERS IS TOASSST Co-operation Urged by Com- merce Department in Per- fecting Broadcasting Plan. BY CARL H. BUTMAN, Co-operation from the radio listen ers is urged by officials of the radio section of the Department bf Com merce as the next step in perfecting radio broadcasting. which, in recent months, has improved to a marked degree. The department has gone as far as it can under present appropriations, the broadcasters are striving to give the fans what they want, and the in dustry itself is improving both trans- mitting and receiving apparatus, but the big thing remains undone, ing to Chief Radio Supervisor V Terrell. The fans don't tell the tions what they like; at leas enough of them report on pro Some think this is unnec others that it is desired only for publicity value to broadcasters, while many will admit that they are too lazy to 1 a telegram, letter or postal However, Mr. Terrell is very serfous in his suggestion, urging that fans assume the responsibility which rests upon their shoulders let the stations know whether like a program or not, and why £ no fees nd they No Charge for Liste In this country there ave charged for listening in and & for ind operating a r set ns appreciate th vet e unwilling to fulfill the re- quirement of reporting frequently to their favorite station managers W in their opinions, is good and a seems bad or poor stations are_entitled to o deserve this small amount of co-operation, even though the fans mes may not be broadcast or pub- shed. It is likened to the applause we all accord a good act on the stage, good play in any sporting event stage o is even carried . at least, serves rical managements That something is not quite right or is misunderstood; except, of cou when we hiss the villain in the melo- dramas—that literally is equivalent 10 _applause. 3y an accumulation of reports from and distant points, and only such returns, station man- an judge whether or not pro Erams are getting over, whether th fans ar pleased, disappointed or peeved at entertainient offered grati This, it is pointed out, is the only thing lacking in the recent movement to improve broadeasting throughout the country. ‘This is what Mr. Terrell would ask you himselt if he were making a broadcast talk or writing this item, so the writer is endeavoring to awaken some of the sleepy or bored fans into some semblance of co-operation which the broadcasters to the number of about 570 so well deserve. Proposes New Slogan. Let the new slogan of the listeners be: “We tell the broadcasters what we thlnk of their programs.” I wish there were medals for all the fans who do respond, but point to the fact that the real reward is worth far more, sinc it is the very thing most of us are listening in for—better broadcast en- tertainment. With such keen com- petition as now exists in the ether | channels. no station can afford to neglect the suggestions and requests irom a majority of its listeners, since it is endeavoring to please the same majority by giving it what it wants. The Department of Commerce re- grets that it is not in a position to further ald the fans, but assures them it is keeping the air lanes clear in their Interest, and hopes to give better service this vear than ever before. ‘The broadcast programs offered, how- ever, are beyond its jurisdiction, so it does not interfere with them. near! through agers LocalRadioEntertainment || _ | Sunday, Dec. 6, 1925, ; Radio_ Station, (434.5 Meters). a.m. and 10:05 p.m.—Weather reports.
