Presaging & new era in broadcasting, the Columbia Broadcasting System has laid before the Federal Radio Commis- sion its plans for the first synchronized network “booster” station, which. would {give to Waskington the complete pro- grams of Station WABC, New York key of the network. At a hearing before the full com- mission, which was still in progress today, 'Columbia _representatives em- phasized that the establishment of booster stations wowld nct méan the | death’ of independentor network-affil~: iated stations. Columbia, the commis< |slon was told, does not intend 180 into widespread synchronisatips | throughout the eountry, “because such ynchronization is impossible under, be present allocation.” The proposed experimental station, of 250 watts power, would be linked 860-kilocycle channel. It simply would serve as a “repeater” for the key sta- tion. re-energizing its signals and af- fording to the Washington audience the full-time network programs which Sta- tion WMAL, the present Columbia out- let in Washington, does not now carry. While from the program standpoint the proposal is simply of local aignifi- cance to Washington listeners, it will be the first step toward national syn- chronized notworks. It is no secret that both networks ultimately hope to achieve the goal of entire chains of stations covering the Nation hy this "brlmter“ process on minimum of chan- nels Before such a scheme could be made operative, however, several technical ob- stacles must be surmounted, not the least of which would be a complete re- allocation of broadcast facilities. Un- der the present allocations great in- terference would result if boosters were established throughout the country, ac- cording to engineers. ‘The only objection voiced was by Station WOL, 100-watt Washington local, which is an applicant for an increase in power to 250 watts and a change in frequency. Through counsel it contended that the application was improper and in violation of regula- tions. The request was made that be- fore action {s taken on the Columbia request WOL be accorded the increased facilities pledged to it by the commis- | sion and that the booster application be “dismissed and denied.” C.
