M O R E S T AT I O N S A D D E D !
POWERFUL STATIONS AND NETWORKS NOW OPEN TO US
GREETINGS, Co-Workers:
Again I am writing to you on the train, enroute from Des
Moines and San Antonio to Los Angeles. My heart is full. I have
learned things on this trip which surely would OPEN YOUR EYES if
you could see and fully realize what I have seen! I simply must
write and tell all our Co-workers the situation at once.
First, however, on this trip two new stations were added,
starting a new and very important network.
Sunday night, August 22nd, I conducted the first "WORLD
TOMORROW" broadcast over the Iowa broadcasting Company from the
studios of KRNT, Des Moines. We have started off with only two
stations, KRNT, and KMA, Shenandoah, Iowa. Both are 3,000 watts,
very strong and popular stations.
I was fortunate in getting a splendid time--late enough
to come under the low rate (half the cost of earlier evening time)
yet nearly an hour earlier than our time has been in the middle
west over WHO and WOAI, which in this farm-belt, should give us
nearly double the audience within the territory covered. The new
time is 10:15 PM Central War Time.
At that hour KRNT covers central Iowa like a local
station, and can be heard over the entire state; while KMA reaches
out even farther, and gives us the strongest and most effective
listening audience of any station in the western half of Iowa and
Missouri, the eastern populous half of Nebraska, and north-eastern
Kansas. It gets into Omaha, Des Moines, and St. Joseph like a
local station, and has a large farmer audience in this section. It
is the station I had planned to use over a year ago, before going
with WHO. There are other stations on this network, all strong
5,000 watt stations, covering South Dakota, North-eastern Nebraska,
South-western Minnesota, North-western and Eastern Iowa, and
portions of Wisconsin and Illinois. They may be added later.
I have made a thorough survey of the situation all over
the country on this trip, and I want to tell you frankly just what
it is.
