BOOSTER STATION

grams to Washington. p

Presaging a. new era in broadcasting,
the Columbia BroadcaSting System has
laid before the Federal Radio Commits
sion its plans for the first synchronized
network booster" station, which would
give to Washington the complete pro-
grams of Station WABC, New York key
Of the network.
At a hearing before the full COM
mission, which was still In progress
today, Columbia Representatives EN-:
phasized that the establishment Of
booster stations woNld net mean the
death of independent, or network-affil-
lated stations. Columbia, the commis-
sion was told, does not intend to
go into widespread synchr2nizati6H
throughout the country, because such
synchronization is impossible under
the present ALLEGATION" r., Ar
The proposed experimental station
OF $50 watts power. would be linked
directly with WABC on it's exclusive
serve as repeater" for the key sta
ton, re-energizing its signals and az
fording to the Washington audience the
full-time network programs which Sta
ton WMA1I. the present Columbia out
let in Washington does not now carry.
While from the program standpoint
the proposal is simply of local signifi-
canoe TO washington listeners, 1t Will
be the first step toward national syn
chronized networks. 1t is no secret
that both networks ultima tely hope to
achieve the goal of entire chains of
stations covering the Nation by this
booster" process on minimum of chan
nels.
Before such a scheme could be made
| operative, however, several technical OBJ
stacles must be Surmounted, not the
least of which would be complete re-
ALLEGATION of broadcast facilities. Un-
der the present ALLEGATIONS great IN
| reference would result II boosters were
established throughout the country, &C.
cording to engineers.
The only objection voiced was by
Station VOL, 100-watt Washington
local, which is an applicant for ar
increase in power to $50 watts and q
change in frequency. Through counse
it commended that the application wa
improper and in violation Of regula-
tons. The request was made that be.
fore action is taken on the Columbis
