Listed by Chicago Station. 707 Now on Air. | The highest yet recorded for a com- mercial broadcasting station was an- nounced in the supplemental list of broadcasters made public today by the | Department of Commerce. | The list revealed that WO! near | Chicago, has jumped from 5,000 to 6,000 watts, besides fincreasing its | wave length to 410 meters. There are | 22 stations using 5,000-watt power, | but WOK s the first one to go higher. Ten new broadcasting stations were | in the department’s supplemental list- | , bringing the total number on the | r'to 707. It is not uniikely that this | { week and next will mark the end of | unrestricted licensing by the depart ment, inasmuch as the probable pas- | sage of the new radlo law by the Sen- | ate and the expected signature of President Coolidge will at once put | in operation the machinery of control. ; Assumes Prompt Action. | This assumes, of course, that the | President will lose no time in appoint- | ing and presenting to the Senate for | compose the Federal Radlo Commis | sion that will regulate and control | broadcasting for one year. It assumes | also that one of the first acts of the | commission will be to call a halt to| further licensing of new stations until | the present interference tangle is | unraveled | The bill is now in the Senate, where | 1t possibly will be taken up today. Fa- vorably reported by seven of the elght members of the conference committee, which comprised both Republicans and Democrats and men with diverse views on the approach to the problem | of control, it received comparatively | little opposition in the House, where it passed by a loud viva voce vote. Unforeseen conditions in the Senate might prevent early consideration of the bill, and a determined filibuster under Senate rules might prevent its passage, despite the apparent desire of the majority for some form of radio control. But these contingencles are not regarded likely in view of the “ublic pressure for action that has en reflected many times in the up- per chamber. New WBZ Schedule.

NOW You Can Buy RADIOLA 20 For /R October, 1926, the Radio Corporation of America announced the formation of the National Broadcasting Company as the logical means of elevating and stabilizing the art of broadcasting. The establishment of the famous Blue and Red network has already brought a flood of congratulations from both press and public. Everybody who has a radio is commenting upon the better programs available. Now RCA makes still another substantial contribution to home radio by setting a price on Radiola 20 which makes its purchase an easy matter for almost every home. The price is now $78 {less equipment). Quality Reception The Quality Broadcasting From its first appearance a year and a half ago, Radiola 20 has been an acknowledged leader. When it was designed, high standards of radio performance took precedence over mere price considerations. Now Radiola 20— with all its high standards —is put in the lower price field. Radiola 20 was created by the same engineers (RCA, Westinghouse, General Electric) who are responsible for the construction of the greatest broadcasting' stations. It provides 1009 home reception of broadcasting programs. May Be Equipped to Operate From Your Lighting Socket Radiola 20 can be operated with batteries, or with lighting socket devices. This, of course, does not affect the musical performance of Radiola 20 one way or another. It is merely RCA makes this offer as a special contribution to more widespread enjoyment of the vastly improved Broadcasting Programs of the day. a matter of preference. You can buy Radola 20 at this price and then equip it with devices for operating from your lighting socket, or use batterfes.
