Importance, requiring special wire
facilities, have been brought East
by the N. B. C.
While reversal of a broadcaSting
circuit appears to be a COMPARE
lively simple feat to the layman,
radio engineers claim it is real
achievement in engineering. Be-
fore the circuit can be reversed in
order that Western programs may
flow East, approximately more
than an hours effort in rerouting
circuits is required. Changes
must be made in circuits and the
reversed lines must be thoroughly
tested before the program is
transmitted. Between New York
and San Francisco, a distance of
5000 miles over the N. B. G. leased
line, there are 26 repeater stations
or relay points. The coast-to-
coast circuit must be tested be-
tween each of these relay points
as we'll as over the entire circuit
fore each program.
There are two radio engineers
at each relay point as we'll as a
half dozen at each end of the line
Thus more than 60 engineers are
busy during the hour preceding a
transcontinental broadcast. The
same staff of engineers is con-
stantly alert during the actual
broadcast. In addition to this
staff more than 100 experts. placed
at different points along the line,
are available in the event of an
emergency.

least six hours O. week are devot-
ed to programs designed especial
ly for youngsters.
Educational programs, sugar
coated as a rule, take up Is hours,
or more than 6 per cent of the
total available time. Travel talks,
literary comment and discussion
of current events come in this
classification.
Programs of special interest to
women and pertaining to house
hold economics, clothes, beauty
and care of children take up an
other IS hours week or 6 per
cent of the broadcasting time.
Breakfasts of physical exercises,
talks on physical hygiene and
other things relating to health re-
ceive 10 hours of the available
time, or slightly more than per
cent. While humor is sprinkled in
programs of various types when
ever fitting, at least five hours of
the week are devoted to broad
casts for laugh-provoking pur-
poses only.
In addition to the programs
that are subject to classification
the N. B. G. also presents many
more programs that defy rigid
classification. For instance, the
correct time is announced several
times a day There are dramatic
readings, book reviews, discussions
of current developments in art
and talks by sport celebrities, all
of which are skillfully blended into
| the panorama of radio entertain
ment.

Radio programs originating ON
| the Pacific Coast will be available
regularly to listeners in the East
through the N. B. c. network be-
ginning Wednesday.
The introduction of this latest
development in transcontinental
broadcasting will bring two of the
best orchestras of the Far West to
the receiving sets of Eastern lis
teners. The OrcheStraS are the
Pacific VagabondS, to be heard
regularly every Wednesday after
noon in a program of symphonic
Jazz, and the Pacific Little SYM
phony Orchestra, which will pre-
sent each Friday afternoon pro-
gram of classical selections.
These two orcheStras are eX-
pected to be the forerunnerS of a
host of N. B. C. units on the Pa
cific Coast. The recent inStalla-
ton of a permanent transconti-
mental line linking New York with
San Francisco has made possible
this stride forward in the develop
ment of radio broadcasting. Here

THERE are four classes OF
radio listeners, according to

radio listeners, according to
the people who do their best
to please those radio listen
ers. These groups are classified, as
follows:
Listeners who think there is too
much jazz music on the air.
Listeners who think there Is too
much classical music on the air.
Listeners who think there are
too many educational talks on the
air.
Listeners who think there is
either not enough of anything or
too much of everything.
But the radio people have para
phrased a certain bit of Lincolnian
philosophy and point out that
while you can please part of the
listeners all of the time and all of
the listeners part of the time, you
cannot please all of the listeners
all of the time.
Statistics compiled by the Ma
tional BroadcaSting Co., based on
programs broadcast from early
morning to midnight over stations
associated with it's coast-to-coaSt
system, may not satisfy any of
the groups of listeners, but they
do show the company is trying to
provide every type of entertain
ment.
Programs emanating from
WEAF and WIZ, key stations of
the N. B. C. system, were taken as
examples of what goes on the air
from firSt-claSs tranSmitterS. In
one week WEAF and WIZ are on
the air total of 225 hours, or an
average of more than 16 hours a
day from each station.
Broadcast jazz music takes up
Is per cent Of the program time
An analysis of weeks programs
from WIZ and WEAF revealed
that only SO hours were given
over to this form of entertain
ment, or less than three hours a
day from both tranSmitterS.
Classical music, the type that
has the stamp of approval of the
most auStere musical educators
takes up % per cent Of program
time. This group includes oper-
attic broadcastS, oratorioS, vocal
and instrumental Soloists, cham

Part in Development Of
Carrier Current.

NEWARK, N. j. R.-Lewis M.
Clement, radio engineer, Is the new
president of the Radio Club Of America.
The Radio Club, a national institution
of 500 members. with headquarters in
New York, has played an important role
in the development of radio. Founded
In 1909, it has among its members most
of the leading radio scientists in the
country. Prof. L. A. Hazeltine's an
nouncement OF the neutrodyne theory
was made public in paper read before
the club.
A large number of the club members
were radio operators in the country's
service during the World War; First
successful transatlantic tests were car
ried on by members in 1920 with a rep
resentative in Europe using American
made equipment.
Mr.. Clement has been a director of
the club for 10 years. He has taken
a leading part in the development of
the radio and recently became head Of
the holster research laboratories.
