THE MICHIGAN DAILY FU ES f)A V, Will Be First To UseMFV W-45-D, which will be the first radio station in the country to use the' new system of broadcasting, frequency modulation, will be De- troit's newest broadcaster, the Fed- eral Communications Commission has announced. The Detroit News was awarded a construction permit Oct. 31 to build the frequency modulation station, which operates under a system of broadcasting often called "staticless radio." A transmitter has been in- stalled on the 45th floor of the Penobscot Building, former offices of W8XWJ, the ultra high frequency station, opened in 1936, which led up to the establishment of W-45-D. As soon as the call letters were received, application was made for permission to begin a series of trans- mission tests. These will be prepara- tion for the inaugural of regular program service expected to begin in the near future. Under a new method of station call numbers, devised by the FCC with the cooperation of the FM Broad- casters Inc., "W" will be usedas a prefix for all FM stations east of the Mississippi and "K" for those Ito the west.
