|ROmping Around
the
Radio Dial
BY Listener-m

Graham McNamee, 1.-The star OF
the East" has run up a big lead
over George u. Hay, the solemn
old judge of WIS, Chicago. in the
Radio Digest Contest for most pop
ular announcer.
/ Last week he held a slender lead
which threatened to be broken at
any time. Now he has 5000 more
votes than his nearest competitor.
The respective standings are Nc
Nance, 27,S61; Hay, 21,S46.
Station WHAS, Louisville, is cele-
brating it's third anniversary to-
night with an elaborate program.
In order to prove its title to
the slogan 1.-The Snappiest Station
in the United States" the Louis
vile broadcaster has offered a
prize to any listener who catches
it's microphone silent as long as
four seconds during the program.
That would be some record to
maintain throughout an evening,
but WHAS probably will 10 it be-
cause a slip would mean the ship
ment of thousand of prizes. Even
WRC, the best timed of the two
local stations, would have difficulty
in keeping its mike" busy with.
out any bigger gaps than that.
And WCAP wouldn't have chance.
WCAP seems to be trying to play
1.-THE dog in the manager" For
several months the Telephone Com
pany station has been signing off
consistently at about 10 o'clock
each evening. Twice this week
wRC decided to take advantage of
this late period to broadcast dance
music which it could not crowd
into it's own nights.
Each time, WCAP has, at the
last moment, added to the length
of its program enough to delay
the start of WRC's bill.
Technically of course, these even
ings belong to WCAP. But If the
Telephone Company doesn't take
advantage of it's hours, it should
not begrudge them to its com.
petitor. The dog in the Manager
policy will not add to the down
town stations popularity.
Crandalls Saturday Nlghters, the
New York Philharmonic orchestra

on tonight's program from WRC'
