RENEWED INTEREST IN
RADIO WITH APPROACH
OF COLD WEATHER

Now that the summer static has
been cleared out of the air by the
approach of cold weather, radio his
teners will turn to their receiving sets
with renewed interest.
Never before in the history of
broadcasting in this country have the
program announcements of the va
rious broadcasting stations been so
rich in promise of high grade enter
tainment.
The most famous personages in
grand opera are scheduled to appear
weekly throughout the coming win
ter; musicians whose names are
household words in every cultured
nation will strive to entertain the
great American radio audience; SYM
phony orchestras, jazz orchestras and
ballad singers will unite to provide
programs that will suit the varied
taste of all music lovers.
The whole tendency of those to
whom the task of arranging pro-
grams has been delegated appears to
be an earnest effort to elevate the
musical taste of the average Ameri-
can without making the educational
feature unpalatable.
The broadcastlng .,,of football
games play by play, ring battles
blow by blow, and baseball games are
features that are thoroughly appre-
ciated by crowds clustered around "a
dio loudspeakers in the streets when
some famous contest is in progress.
The broadcasting of weather and
market reports is becoming of great
Importance to the rural communities,
but this is not an unmixed blessing
as city people have found out who
drive into the country to buy eggs
and other produce and find the farm
ers well posted on city prices.
