WJSV STATION
CHANGE NEAR

Broadcasting officials today ad-
mitted the Columbia Broadcasting
System is negotiating for the
lease of WJSV, the big 1O,OOO-watt
station located in Mt. Vernon
Hills.
While nothing definite has been
accomplished in the transfer of
WJSV control to Columbia, it was
learned on good authority that it
is simply matter of days before
the formal agreement will be
signed.
Columbia has had it's eye on
WJSV for nearly year, with the
idea of giving Washington full
time coverage of programs origin
ating in the key station, WABC,
New York.
If the negotiations are COM
pleted, it will open the way for
WMAL, now part-time outlet, to
become affiliated with the N.B.C.
N.B.C. has been seeking a Wash
ington station to handle its blue
network programs, and with
WMAL'S contract with Columbia
expired, the Capital would be get
ting the best possible chain pro-
grams if WMAL became a blue
network outlet.
