The Iowa people who "listen most" to WHO eat 5 times more BREAKFAST FOOD than those who prefer any other station!

According to the authoritative Iowa Radio Audience Survey (1945) -WHO is "listened to most" by 55.4% of the Iowa daytime radio audience, as against 10.7% for the No. 2 station.

Putting it another way, your commercials may be heard by more Iowa people, on WHO, than on all other stations in the State combined.

High power is only a small part of the reason for this outstanding preference. In its home county, N with two competitive network stations, WHO is "listened to most" both day and night. The big for Iowa PLUS f reason is WHO's superior programming, superior Des Moines . . . 50,000 Watts showmanship, superior public service. Ask any- B. J. Palmer, Pres. J. O.

P 4 December 3, 1945 BROADCASTING Telecasting YOU, TOO, CAN RUN A RADIO STATION!

ANYONE can run a radio station. There are over 900 of them in operation throughout the country today. You don't have to have much on the ball to throw a network switch or play records and

transcriptions. But running a radio station that feels a community responsibility, a station that tries

to integrate itself into the community, is another thing. Let's take WCHS, for example.

THE city of Charleston, W. Va., like all other cities in the nation, had a juvenile delinquency problem.

The whole town talked about it . . . but nobody did anything. Well, we talked about it, too. In fact,

we screamed about it! And then, together with the Junior Chamber of Commerce, we hired a paid director and converted the WCHS Auditorium (it's the largest auditorium of its kind in West Virginia) into a gigantic youth center.

THUS the auditorium that housed Bill Tilden playing tennis, Benny Goodman tootling his clarinet, Jimmy Braddock boxing a sparring partner, basketball games, ice revues and many other attractions, became lof all things) THE TURTLE SHELL!

WHY the Turtle Shell? Because that's what kids wanted to call it! So now the auditorium is full of cute bobby -soxers and their boy friends, ping pong tables, pool tables, snack bar, shuffle board courts, a juke box and dance floor -just to mention a few of the attractions. Once a month a Turtle Shell Forum is held in which the boys and girls conduct a "round table" discussion on con-

troversial topics of the day. These forums are so interesting that we even broadcast them.

THE kids have a swell time and we think we are doing our part toward helping solve Charleston's juvenile delinquency problem. Well, anyway one of the local newspapers finally broke down and

ran an editorial patting us ors the back. WCHS CHARLESTON, W. VA. 5000 on 580 CBS Represented by the Branham Co.

We have each of our programs transcribed on Presto equipment because it's easy to take criticism from a Presto Recording," says lovely Evelyn Knight, singing star of CBS' "Powder Box Theatre ". When you specialize in tricky rhythms as I do, it's important to be able to play back the show to review your work." Broadcasting stations and recording studios use Presto equipment because they can depend on Presto to produce high quality work. Schools and business organizations, too, prefer Presto because a Presto Recorder can take hard usage and is simple to operate. Write for complete information.

The Kentucky Manufacturing Company alas

RECONVERSION presented very few problems to us as our war work was a continuation, on an expanded basis, of our peacetime operation. Prior to the war we were making commercial freight trailers and forging semi -steel and gray iron castings. During the war we made heavy all -steel special military vans, special heavy four-wheel trailers for the Navy and Marine Corps, forgings for the Navy and semi -steel and gray iron castings for the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. We also participated in the Army wood cargo program. During this period it was necessary for us to expand our facilities and our number of employees. Our present plans are to use these expanded facilities. We expect our employment to be approximately two and one -half times that of our prewar level. We are again making all types of trailers, commercial freight carriers and farm wagons. We are producing semi -steel and gray iron castings as well as forging for peacetime industries. We are proud of our part in the war production record of our country and are entering the postwar era with confidence that we are facing years of good business. R. C. TWAY, President

* The Henry Vogt Machine Co. pic..N.4 .. .

PRIOR to the war we manufactured industrial boilers, industrial refrigeration equipment, forged steel valves and fittings, and oil refinery equipment for high octane gasoline. These peacetime products were very necessary for the war effort and had high priority ratings. Many boilers manufactured by the Henry Vogt Machine Company were used in cargo ships. Vogt valves were used in the nitric acid processing in every plant making gun powder for the war effort. Because there was no change -over for wartime production, there is no conversion problem at our plant. We will go right on manufacturing these boilers, valves and fittings, etc., but now they will again go to the peacetime users. We will continue our practice of adding to the valve and fittings line, improving tooling, machining and production practices, and developing aids to better production. In addition to our regular lines we will produce a new machine which we have patented for the manufacture of sized ice. This Tube Ice machine, already in use by the Navy, will be used by hotels and restaurants for preservation of fruits, poultry, fish, etc. It will be a big production item in the postwar era. For more than fifty years the employment of our company has been most stable. We expect to maintain the same level of employment as we have had during wartime production. G. A. HEUSER, President

TTOT until recently did any but engineers '1 know or care that far too much of a station's power was being wasted in useless and objectionable skywaves, and even the engineers didn't think there was much to be done about it. That was before WKY proved that an antenna could be designed and built to squash down skywaves and concentrate them along the ground. The "pancake" radiation pattern produced by WKY's revolutionary 915 -foot Franklin double half -wave antenna has increased signal intensity 58.5% over conventional quarter - wave efficiency at one mile. The intensified ground wave has materially increased WKY's effective coverage and, because of the extreme- ly low angle of radiation. the "fading zone" caused by interference of ground and reflected skywaves has been eliminated. To advertisers this all has a very simple and important meaning: WKY, always- the station to which most Oklahomans listened most, is reaching more potential customers today than ever before.

ó Alexandre Dumas was as colorful i%%i,iIÍN1== : 10 in his writing habits as were the char- - <', . . acters he created in his novels. It was i his habit to write novels only on blue paper, while for poetry his choice was yellow. Magazine articles were prepared on rose -tinted sheets. Even special pens were used for each variety of subject matter. In spite of these eccentric habits, Dumas pursued his career with fame and profit.

Time buyers can learn to their own profit that Baltimoreans, too, have a habit. WCBM is identified in the minds of the Baltimore audience with the best in music, entertainment and news, and it is for this very reason that WCBM has become "Baltimore's Listening Habit."

Judith Andrews is being talked about these days. But her ears aren't burning, no sir, for people are saying some mighty nice things about "Judith Andrews -The Modern Homemaker," WGN's brand new, co- sponsored homemaking show. The show has a new and refreshingly different approach to an old theme. Neither "soap opera" nor "school" presentation, it combines the best features of both, with a very definite continuity and purpose. We'll admit, under pressure, that Judith isn't exactly any Rosie the Robot but she can and does help housewives in their daily routine. The war years, years of women in industry, business and the service, have resulted in a new kind of interest in home management. Women today are vitally interested in the modern viewpoint. Scripted, produced and acted by the best talent in the business, "Judith Andrews -The Modern Homemaker" is certain to stimulate your radio sales.

Back from 3 years with Uncle Sam's army, "M.J.B." is now weaving an audience- winning program pattern for KRNT, 6:00 to 8:30 a.m., every weekday morning. Of course, "M.J.B." hit the airwaves in Iowa with a salvo of publicity. KRNT believes in that sort of program promotion ... the kind that built a six point rating in 13 weeks for the Gene Emerald Show ... that helped establish 45.2% of the morning and 30.3% of the afternoon audience at KRNT. The kind that promoted 44% of the Sunday afternoon and 40.9% of the Saturday daytime audience ... that jumped the ABC nighttime audience in Des Moines more than 7 %. Yes, "M.J.B." is making Iowa radio history on KRNT with a program that early- morning Iowa listeners want to hear.

The removal of restrictions on the production of C broadcast transmitters has caught us right where you AM and FM want us ...ready now to produce the equipment. Consoles Both AM and FM transmitters -and other broadcast equipment -can be scheduled now for delivery as soon as your order is received. And your order will be handled promptly, pushed along into its rightful spot on our production chart ... you can get complete delivery information on any equipment shown on these pages by calling Westinghouse at the number shown on the opposite page. The tough wartime service demanded of radio, understaffed maintenance programs and parts shortages have all contributed to the extra wear and tear on transmitters. This is doubly true for the more than 50% of the nation's AM transmitters that are over 10 years old. Rea But the war years have brought extra benefits, added gains in Westinghouse transmitter design. One of these is the "plus" value of station operation gained through 25 years of AM broadcasting. In addition, Westinghouse now operates five FM stations -more than any other company. This shirt -sleeve experience in keeping stations on the air has been used to build more solid dependability and faithful performance into both AM and FM broadcast equipment. And we're ready now to produce it for you. For help in placing your order, wire or phone your nearest JA Westinghouse office. Or go directly to the Westinghouse Electric Corporation, P. O.
