BRUNSWICK FEATURE ON ETHER
ROmping Around
the
Radio Dial

Curiosity got the better OF us last
night and as result the best
weekly program broadcast by the
local stations was ruined, because
even in &he best regulated Of fam.
lilies a., radio will not bring in two
stations clearly at the same time.
The opposite is more likely to hap
pen-that neither comes in good.
This is the way it happened.
When 8 o'clock rolled around last
night we knews the Gypsies would
be good over WCAP, but we wanted
so get in on the program for TT.
3. Ms" from WIZ, New York,
which had been advertised so wide
ly as a program for men only.
So we tried to tune in WIZ
through the 1ocal-which is as good
as suicide anytime. We managed
to get the New Yorkers to come
in as strong as the Gypsies. but to
save us couldn't bring them in any
better. And Shat's the way we
spent most of the hour, trying to
strain our ears to distinguish what
was going on in New York and at
the same time missing all the local
program.
We did hear>. a little of the
Gypsies though, and they were as
good as usual, which with us means
about as good as there is on the
air.
We were fortunate enough to
get home yesterday afternoon in
time to hear the tea music offered
by Meyer Davis Willard Hotel
orchestra at 4:30 o'clock. We never
knew before what we missed every
afternoon. That music yesterday
afternoon was the .equaI of any
local music being broadcast at the
present time
We advise any tired out business
man VINO wants little mental
recreation between work and din
ner to get home and tune in the
tea music which is on the air
every other afternoon.

ception of the LIE Paradis concert.

The creation of a new position at
WRC, to be known as the studio
managership, and the appointment
thereto of William NJ. Sweets.

unusual success at WRC's brother
stations, WIZ and WY of New
York. Under the new regime.

program manager of the Park

he has filled since the station first
