RADIO TRADE FEELS
CRUX THIS SEASON
Future Policies Must Be
Shaped Through Coming
Winter in Air Programs.

The radio season that is being
uehered in throughout the country
this month Is looked upon by most of
the leading radio manufacturers and
ebroadcasters as the most critical that
the industry and art has yet expert
enced.
During the coming Winter it is ex-
planned. the method by which the
listener interest in broadcasting is to
be gained and permanently held must
be definitely decided and policies out
lined for the coming years.
With this idea in mind. the for
tunes of the National Broadcastins
Co., formed by the Radio Corporation
Of America. as medium for scheme
Of national radio programs. will be
closely watched by the entire radio
world.
Millions Are in Sight.
There is little doubt that the ven
ture will prove a profitable one for at
least a year. Manufacturers are flock
ing to the microphone for the ma
tional publicity and goodwill advertis-
ing that is to be had through It's
mechanism. and several millions OF
dollars are to be spent in the course
Of the next six months for the privi-
lege of transmitting trade names ana
slogans to the country's radio listen
ers.
At the end of the season. however.
will come the check-up. III the safes
Of receivers continue their upward
trend at the same pace as in the past
three seasons. if the demand for bat
teries and tubes continues to increase,
and If the broadcasting manufacturers
continue in state of prosperity, the
good will type of radio program will
be considered acceptable to the listen
ers and therefore most acceptable to
the radio industry and the nation S
broadcasters.
New Ideas Expected.
On the other hand. should the an.
ticipated sales of receivers. batteries
and tubes fall below expectations and
should the broadcasting manufac-
turers encounter year OF only
moderate financial gain, II Is con
sidered very likely that both broad.
casters and the radio industry will
begin seriously to think of other ways
in which to attract the attention OF
the vast listening audience.
To this end. therefore. many new
and original ideas are expected to be
injected into the goodwill entertain
ment that will come through the air
during the next six months.
Entertainment experts and prom
inent showmen are being attracted
into the radio studio to design pro
grams that will make the listener
want to stay at home with his re-
ceiver and additional hundreds of
thousands of dollars are to be spent
by commercial broadcasters through
the ordinary advertising mediums in
calling attention to what's on the air.
