w YHILE the radio industry as
~ whole Jared rather poorly,
wv the networks emerged from
the year 1881 with strikingly
favorable balance sheets.
Fiscal information now available shows
an increase over 1880 in gross revenues
of the National Broadcasting Co. and
Columbia Broadcasting System OF
more than 40 per cent to a total OF
nearly s4O000,00O.
This creditable showing, however, was
not reflected In any other phase Of the
industry. Independent stations, which
had been thriving through the sale of
time on the air, suffered reverseS, par
ticularly toward the fag end Of 1881.
It Is estimated by the trade that about
one-half Of the 600-odd stations are
either breaking even or showing profits
and that the rest are in red ink. The
set-nanufacturing industry had most
depressing year, along with manufac-
turing lines.
Number Of Clients Lower.
Although the networks showed sig
nificant Increases in gross income. the
improvement fell somewhat below the
average attained during preceding
years. N. B. c., which has just made
available its annual report showed an
increase Of s7,5000 900 during 1881 over
the preceding year to total of $29,-
500. 900. realized principally from fur
nishing facilities to sponsors over its
four networks. A reduction, however,
was shown in the number Of clients
using its facilities, with 23l sponsoring
programs in 1881 as against 263 the
preceding year. The N. B. c. Artists
Service. a direct subsidiary, which
nQrfnrDnPrS
gross of sl0,500,oo0 during the year.
Statement Not Available.
Columbia's financial statement for
1881 is not yet available. Approximate
information credits that network with
81 per cent increase in revenue over
1880. Its gross income, exclusive OF
artist service revenue and income from
other sources is placed at S10,184, ,958,
as against s6,726,859 for the preceding
fiscal year.
In his annual report M. H. Ayles-
worth, president of N. B. c., declared
the rapid growth Of organized broad
casting in its first years was marked
principally by physical expansion, but
that during 1881 probably the greatest
development of the year was in the di-
rection of refining and broadening the
scope of programs"
A dozen additional stations became
affiliated with N. B. C. during the
year-one Of them at Honolulu, which
marked the first instance of the use of
short-wave facilities for relaying regu-
lar service to an associated station.
There was expansion throughout the
organization, with one Of the high spots
that of international broadcasting.
During 1881 149 broadcasts originating
in 10 foreign countries went out over
the N. B. C.. networks.
