WBNS Has
Over IS News
Periods Per Week

The radio public has demand
ed and got complete coverage of
news by radio. This is especi-
ally true in the present day pol
itics foreign and domestic.
War is news, regardless of
who's fighting, and to cover the
rapid, worldwide developments,
broadcasting companies and sys-
TENS increased their staffs tre-
mendously and news was given
precedent over all else in the
time available.
Central Ohio's only CHS out
let, WBNS in Columbus, has a
total of over Is news periods
per week. These range from the
"four-a-day" of the we'll known
Genial jim" Cooper to .Colum-
bias five minute summaries and
Interruptions for spot news.
In addition to regular news,
WBNS has a mobile shortwave
unit mounted on a truck which
covers important happenings in
a wide radius around Columbus
giving an eyewitness account of
the events as they happen. The

truck has four different chan
nels enabling it to send for re-
broadcasting from any point in
the radius mentioned.
WBNS Inc. was founded in
1921 and has given continuous
radio service to Central Ohio
since that date. The company
has pioneered with such innova-
tions as it's present experimental
FM station and in unusual pro-
grams and program promotions.
AS the only outlet of CHS in
this territory the station carries
several hours of Columbia pro-
grams. 1t has it's own power
plant to give it independence
from possible power failure. 1t
operates on 1430 kilocycles.

WHEN TAUB BECAME
EXCITED OVER '2-TON'

The most surprising moment
in the career of Sam Taub as a
fight broadcaster occurred in the
Louis-Galento battle.
In the midst Of the third
round, the pudgy challenger
caught the Brown Bomber with
a wild swing that sent him spin
ming to the canvas. Louis pro-
ceeded to cut down the badly
bruised Galento in the next
