Listeners to Stations WIZ and
WY of the Radio Corporation Of
America, New York City, have not
heard the familiar "AON'' announc-
ing-or "AJN." "ALN," or "ATN'' as
the case may be. For the first time
since WIZ opened as the first broad
casting station east of the Ale
ghenies in 1922, the announcers are
Identifying themselves by their own
names. The change in policy, which
took effect March /, is the result
Of the increased attention to the
art of announcing exercised by WIZ
and WY. From now on, a good
announcer will win public approval
under his own name, and a poor
announcer will receive public con-
demnation as himself rather than
as a group of three letters.
