Many CROSSE Country Radio
Programs Sent Via Wire

Millions of Americans do not
realize that many radio programs
they hear travel greater distances
over telephone lines than through
the air.
For example, a network pro-
gram that originates in New York
and is heard in San Francisco
through a local station is trans
mitted some 5000 miles by wire
but less than 80 miles by radio
waves.
