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. Read ...
