FIRST BROADCAST:
'U' Radio Station WUOM
Will Hit Airwaves July 5
_- - _
FER 25 YEARS of broadcasting over commercial stations a new
University-owned frequency modulation station will go on the
air at 8 p.m. on July 5.
Just a quarter of a century ago the University ceased broadcast-
ing over its own radio station wich was built by the students n engi-
neering and had the calli-letters WCBC.
The new station, broadcasting upon a frequency of 91.7 mega-
cycles, will give the listener reception free of man-made or natural
static. Accurate reproduction of the entire sound range is made'
possible by frequency modulation so that mrsic may be heard by
radio just as it is heard in the concert hal,. FM also eliminates inter-
ference between stations.
TIE UNIVERSITY STATION has the call letters, WUOM, and is
the only station in the country which has oeen granted a call
letter by the Federal Communications Commission in which the:
letter "U" follows the letter "W." The restriction was made because of
the difficulty of enunciation, but Prof. Abbot finally convinced the
FCC to get the U. of M. into the call-letters. .
Station WUOM will have a basc schedule of 5 hours from 3 to
8 p.m. Monday through riday and from 9:15 to 11:00 a.m. on Sunday.
In addition, special musical events will be broadcast from the Rack-
ham Assembly Hall, Hill Auditorium and Lydyia Mendelsohn Thea-
ter. Prof. Abbot is also trying to make arrangements to broadcast
the concerts from the National Music Camp at Interlochen.
Two-thirds of the time on the air will be devoted to music and
the remaining one-third to educational talks, interviews, round-tables,
dramatic programs, and news. A *;chedule of the weekly programs is
available on request from the Broadcasting Service, 4004 Angell Hal,
or University Extension 393.
THE TRANSMITTIEfl and radiator tower of Station WUOM are
located on the top of Peach Mountain near Portage Lake, about
16 miles northwest of the campus. The base of the tower is nearly
1,100 feet above sea level and approximately 500 feet above th
Huron River Valley. On top of this is a 4440 ft. tower which will
give a total elevation of nearly 1,000 feet above the average
terrain. This will make it possible for WUOM to be heard within a
radius of 60 to 100 miles from Ann Arbor.
. The present studios in Angell Hall will be used until those under
construction in the General Service Building are completed. In the
new building the Broadcasting Service will have four modern studios
fully equipped control rooms, recording room, music library, and
office space. The program schedule will be expanded when new studi
facilities become available.
Many student organizations will cooperate in the presentatidn of
programs during July and August.
