GREAT CHANGES INRADIO SEEN Important Steps and Radical Departures in Field Are in Prospect. BY MARTIN CODEL. Undercurrents are stirring in radio which portend important ¢hanges and radical new departures in American broadcasting and broadcasting methods during the next few years. Changes in the ownership of stations, the synchronization of two or more Stations on single wave lengths and the use of higher and higher powers are in prospect. Apace with such develop- ments, the increasing use of program continuities specially recorded for broad- casting bodes marked changes in the program technique of large and small stations alike. On reliable authority, the writer learns that certain unnamed interests are back of a project that calls for the purchase of many broadcasting stations throughout the country during the next few years. These are to be operated as individual units under central control, somewhat as chain newspapers are operated. Later they may be joined as a network, especially if synchronization makes it possible to do so without going to the Government for more of the more favorable wave lengths. $5,000,000 Asked. ‘This syndicate, it is understood, ap- proached station WOR., Newark, with the thought of purchasing it, but ne- gotiations did not go very far when the ing price of 35,000,000 was asked for that station. ‘That the big motion picture pro- ducers now without radio outlets of their own would like to get into broad- casting is well known. Warner Broth- ers and Fox have long been “sold” on radio, but unlike Radio Pictures and Paramount have not been able to gain a foothold. = Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer likewise wants to go into broadcasting, and may be expected to join forces in the radio fleld, as it has in motion pic- tures, with the Hearst interests, whose radio executive, E. J. Gough, even now is on a tour to consult with Hearst publishers about radio. Around WLW, Cincinnati, and WGPS, New York, not to omit WOR, many rumors of chain ambitions have been woven. They have not been sub- stantiated, although movements are discernible which lead to the belief that any one or all of these stations may be keys of hookups under new aus- pices within the next year or so. . As a hatter of fact, WLW and WOR are frequently hooked together and with various other stations for certain pro- grams, and a few weeks ago WGBS was admitted to this ‘“quality group” for certain programs which WOR could not handle. in the group are WTAM, Cleveland; WIL, WJR, Detroit, and KQV, Httsbur'h Here is a nucleus for a possible third chain, although each of these stations h: ther chain afliations with which it appears quite satisfled for the present. Own Soatone System. ‘Warner Brothers now own, besides the Brunswick radio plants, the Soa- tone system of pre) g:lnnx recordings for broadcasting, and big plans for ex- ploiting recorded programs. Then still another New York company, known as Radio Artists of the Air, Inc, and headed by Eddie Dowling, is reputed to have nearly 200 stations under contract for recorded radio broadcasts. ‘The announcement that WOR was turning to recordings after consistently refusing to broadcast anything but original studio performances gave rise to re] of a concordat with '.he ‘War- ners, reports which cannot be cubstan- tiated. In radio circles it is generally believed that the economies of broad- casting, especially since WOR changed hands as part of a recent big depart- meny store merger in New York, con- strained the new owners to turn to records to reduce expenses. ‘Then, again, there is the ambition of Victor, now in the Radio Corporation of America’s “family,” to promote its recordi.nxs via the broadcast channels. Efforts to_place Victor records on the Natlonal Broadcasting Co. chain last year were suct resisted by M. H. Aylesworth, president of N. B. C., but the story will not down that Victor, po-nbly under N. B. C. auspices, i to develop a new outlet for its recordl Some credence is given this report by the fact that Victor has cir- cularized all radio stations to the effect that they must cease the broadcasting of Victor records. Synchronization Is Goal. 8ynchronization, or the placing of enough stations to cover the entire country on one wave length, is the big goal of radio engineers. There is no doubt that if and when the problem of synchronization is solved the present chains and other interests will imme- diately begin forming new networks. It is partially to experiment with synchronization that KDKA, Pittsburgh, spplied to the Federal Radio Commis- sion for authority to employ 400,000 watts of power, or eight times the pres- ent maximum’ of any station in the eountry, in experiments to be conducted during the hours after midnight. Sta- tions KDKA of Westinghouse and WGY of General Electric propose to on the air in these trials with 200000 watts each on the same wave length, and with the same program, and to not,e‘ results. At first blush such “superpower” ap- | pears staggering, but 400,000 watts is a r:lnflvely small amount when trans- posed to horsepower. One honepower‘ equals 746 watts, so that KDKA’s pro- | Pposed experimental power would amount | to only 537.5 horsepower. Of course,| there is the problem of blanketing the nearby points on the dial, if not the ‘whole dial, with such power. 2150 is one of the problems Westing- | house engineers think they can master. Meanwhile the rush for the maximum mwfl‘ of 50,000 watts continues, and e list of pending applications is swell- | ing day by day. Eight stations now have that power, namely, WEAF, New York; WTIC, Hartford; WGY, Schenec- tady; KDKA. Pittsburgh; WLW, Cin- ecinnati; WTAM, Cleveland; WENR,| Chicago, and WBAP, Fort Worth. Seven have been authorized to build to, that power, namely, WABC, New York; | WLS, Chicago; KMOX, St. Louls; WFAA, Dallas; WOAI, San Antonio, Tex.; KNX, Los Angeles, and KFI, Los Angeles. With the commission’s ruling that no nore than four channels in each of the five zones shall be occupied by 50,000~ watt stations, the list of applicants for that power, all or most of whom will face hearings on their applications be- fore the commission next Fall, now in- clude WOR, Newark; WCAU, Philadel- hia; WBZ, Springfield. Mass.; WMAQ, | YW and WCFL, Chicago; WHAS,| Louisville; WBT, Charlotte, N. C.; WFBM, Indianapolis; WW.J, Detroit; WSB, Atlanta; KWKH, - Shreveport; KGO, Oakland, Calif.; WHAM, Roches- ter, N. Y.; WRVA, Richmond, Va.: WSM, Nashville; WCCO, Minneapolis; WOWO, Fort Wayne, Ind.; WAPI, Birmingha KTNT, Muscatine, Iowa, and KVOO, ‘Tulsa, Okla. Station WBBM, Chicago, is expected to renew its defaulted application for 50,000 watts, and the WHO-WOC com- bination in Iowa, now engaged in syn- chronization tests with 5,000 watts, has not formally withdrawn its application for maximum power. Various other stations, especially those now on cleared | channels, are expected to make similar applications, Will Prodl;ce Phone Talk.

As a safeguard against attacks by pirates in Chlneu ‘waters, which occur all too frequently for the comfort of navigators, the Marconi Co. of Eng- land has devised an automatic radio transmitter that is fitted in a fireproof safe to make it secure from damage. ‘The mere closing of a switch locks the safe and sets the transmitter in opera- tion, the ship’s call letters and request for assistance going on the air unin- terruptedly until the batteries are ex- hausted. Chinese pirates attack only coastal and river steamers whose positions are usually known from hour to hour, so that coastal stations picking liin“p the signals can inform ships Tange as to the attacked nhnu -pnmx!mlu position.
