The largest audience tn history
was desired to make epochal the
annual Radio Industries Banquet,
qj New York. September 16, and it
ia estimated that the thirty-three
stations on the hook-up broadcast
ing the program reach a total of
more than 16,000,00(1 possible lis
teners.
Vice President Dawes, the priu
npal speaker, when invited to ad
dress the banquet, came face to
(ace for the first time with the
change that radio has made in af
ter-dinner speaking. He was told
that he would begin speaking at a
certain time, and the time he would
cease speaking was also specified.
To broadcast the dinner from so
many stations, it was necessar? to
arrange a strict schedule as in the
handling of any other regular radio
program, with the speakers and
artists each allotted a limited time,
bringing the program to a close
at 11:45 for the hour of dance mu
sic following.
