INSTRUMENTATION of broad

casting stations on the same
channel, the goal of engi-
- neering research for several
years, will be the next step in the
development of radio, according
to Edwin K. Cohan, director of
technical operations of the Co.
lumbia BroadcaSting System.
With standardization, Cohan
predicts, will come better recep-
ton and the elimination of the
terrific congestion in the broad
cast band.
"Of late the subject of tele-
vision has been SO pre-eminently
in the limelight and so many pre-
dictions have appeared in print
relating to the possible addition
of this science" Cohan said, that
another equally important gift Of
science and one which also will
have a decided effect upon the
listening public has been ignored.
That is simultaneous broadcast
ing of several stations on the
same wave band"
Cohan predicts on the basis of
recent results that within short
time it will be possible to operate
several stations on the same
channel, extending from coast to
coast. This development, he
thinks, probably will be forth
coming before televiSion becomes
a means of practical home enter
tainment.
