However, Miss Saint said
that this first experience Of

teacher.

the prettiest third grade
teacher In the State Of New

classmate dared her to try out
for the freshman play and the
day she won the part. she
changed her course to speech
and dramatics.
Shortly after her graduation
from college her family moved
to New York City so she lived
at home and began making
the rounds"

Comes the Revolution
For Network Rodio

Like 1t or not, it's full steam
ahead for Monitor" MICS
controversial network week
ender heard here via WRC.
Come November z. Monitor will
also be heard Monday through
Friday from 10 am. to 8 pm.
What is this going to do to
the local programming that
WRC (Which Is owned and
operated by NBC) developed
over the years?
Nobody knowS--yet.
So far. WRC staffers haven't
been financially hurt by Moni-
tor. They've been working
for the network on week ends
at $50 per spot and making
out pretty good.
They'll Keep Busy
It's fair to assume that
they'll be kept scrambling to
provide Monitor with more
interviews and features out
of this city.
But what happens to such
solid items as Date in WASH
ington" tGene Archer's top
rated program, the breezy
Willard Scott-Ed Walker
comedy disc hour, Patty Cav
ms ladies show?
And what is NBC planning
to do with the network soap
operas. variety shows and other
programs that are now fea-
tured?
NBC afiliates still have q
certain amount Of fixed "op-
ton time"-from noon to 8
pm. for example-and it's en-
tirely possible that WRC will
be able to sandwich most Of
its local shows in that period.
Nothing's sure, though, and
1t will be interesting to see
how NBC and WRC work it
out. Not only the talent
but the hSteners-have q lot
at stake In the decisions to be
made.
Independents Gain
In the Washington area,
most radio independents con-
tinue to show healthy gains at
the expense Of the networks.
(Which is one Of the reasons
for Monitor.)
WPIK alexandria, has
Soomed in the past two years
IA feat that is attributable,
In part. to a frequency that
carries It's signal into far on
Wheaton more briskly than
stations in that area.
VOL has doomed these past
two years, thanks to agrees
sive management and wise
programming. VOL has had
its ups and downs locally and
it's just heading UP again
fast.
Practically every piece Of
equipment inherited by VOL
from its former owners has
been junked. It's new head
quarters just on Dupont Circle,
which I visited last week, re-
fleets the determination Of its
oWner-workers to operate q
first class station. The present
owners could sell out right now
at a hefty profit--but they
feel they're just beginning to
roll.

decline is as obvious as the
rise Of the independents

but virtually an independ-
ent, is q big winner. WTOP
(CBS) and WRC (NBC) have
slipped. WMAL has held even.
Going up steadily have been
VOL. WPK. wGAY. and
WUST.
When you couple this with
the fact that sets In use have
also boomed-and that there
are 10000 more sets in the
Metropolitan Area-you can
understand why the networks
are scratching around for
ideas to beat the indies"
