F or Radio Listeners
BY Harry Macarthur

The people who provide your ra-
dio entertainment are not gay as
larkS as the new fail season ap-
proaches. They are jittery as they
look forward to the next battle of
the Hooper ratings. though no one
outside OF radio has ever determined
just what relation there is between
high Hooper rating and ether
entertainment values of soap sales.
For one thing, the radio people are
still rocking back on their heels as
a result of the Federal Commune
cations Comnission's recent BLUE
Book" They are hurt to the quick
by that one and radio executives
still are getting answers on record.
Hurting more than the FEC re-
port, however, are certain indica-
tions that the general public may
share the commissions opinion of
certain phases of modern radio.
Radio listening, according to those
trusted surveys, has just hit new
low. That dull thud you may have
heard was the summer slump, "Mr.
District Attorney" being the top
show of the moment, with a mid
August Hooper of 1913 to compare
with the 3o.and higher ratings gen.
orally clocked by the best shows dur
ing the fall-winter listening season.
The radio people hope fervently
that this apathy of listeners is the
usual seasonal one and not some
thing that will continue.
Another thing that has the radio
people showing some concern is
growing wary attitude on the part
of advertisers. Some popular shows
of last yes., among them, "Infor-
nation. Please" do not yet have
sponsors and others are being shift.

The gravy-train days are in an

ANY one reading Variety and
the other trade magazines will see
in the stories a very definite trend
There are still some pretty darn

"Vox Pop, as usual, is a bargain

Another thing that has some

new sponsor won him from several
who were fervently wooing him.
Mr.. Crosby does not like to dress
up and perform before audiences,
|prefering the relaxed atmosphere
of recording studio. The catch is
that NBC and CHS, on the other
hand, do not like to send transcribed
matter over their networks.
This means, to the rumor mon
gers, that the Crosby show will be
over MBS or ABC stations, with the
healthiest rumor at the moment
seeing 1t scheduled for Wednesday
night at 9 on ABC. There is a nice.
wide open space in the networks
schedule at that time right now
Assigning it to Bing, though, would
set the scene for rare battle, since
his opposition would be Frank Sin
atra on CHS and "Duffy's Tavern"
on NBC. Frankie's fans probably
would charge Bing with all sorts OF
low dealing in a case like this and

audience would be so divided that
the coveted Hooper points, instead
of being concentrated, would be
spread between the three shows
with some, of course, going to Ga
briel Heatter). Which, incidentally,
shows just where a Hooper rating
stands as a measure of entertain
ment.
Whatever spot is found for the
new Crosby transcribed show, those
in radio will be watching it closely.
There is clause in his contract
which provides that the singer must
stop transcribing and go back to in
person broadcasting if his Hooper
falls below a certain point. The
antitranscription set, notably the
NBC and CHS people, will no doubt
smile with satisfaction if this comes
to pass. On the other hand, if
Crosby -on-a- platter can draw
a listening audience comparing ia
vorably in size with tha:: aarawn by
Crosby-in-a-studio, others will want
to follow his lead. Then NBC and
CHS will be faced with a problem

about transcriptions, or lose some

Albert II Mackenzie. Prescott at
