New Asheville Station On Air Western North Carolina will hear a new and powerful radio voice on July 31, when WLOS and its sister station WOLS-FM go on the air. WLOS will be powered with 5,000 watts (day) and will be a member station of the Mutual Broadcasting System, the world’s largest. WLOS will be locally owned and locally operated, concentrating its programs and power for the local audience. Executive personel will include the following personalities, all young men with recognized repu tations in their respective tasks: General Manager Charles B. Britt, graduate of the Massachu setts Institute of Technology (B. S. E. E.). During the war, Charlie was an Air Corps Major with the R. A. F. on Detached Ser vice from the Air Attache’ at the American Embassy in London, and at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, in the field of radar, re search and experimentation. Commercial Manager William Hendon seems to be as well known around these parts as the City- Building and hardly needs intro ducing. Bill, as most folks know, is District Commisioner of the Boy Scouts of America, and heads the Daniel Boone Council. He is also a member of the Jaycees and the Kiwanis Club here. Before Bill joined WLOS he was Public Rela tions Director in this zone for the Coca Cola Company. Welcome to WLOS, Bill! Program Director Bernie Barth 1 comes to Asheville as a young j man most likely to continue to I ; succeed. Bernie has just turned a I hoary twenty-eight, but this string i of Radio trophies is as long as Beaver Lake. A few of these Would I include: (a) An acclimation in 1937 j by Radio Mirror magazine as “the j youngest allied radio field man in j the United States.” (b)Writing 1 three “soap operas” concurrently j for the Ralph Jones Advertising Agency of Cincinnati. (c)The high- j est “Hooper” rating of any news- I caster in Philadelphia. This was in 1944. Bernie will apply these suc cess formulas to WLOS. Engineering Director Palmer | Greer is also a young radio veteran whose technical background is par- ■ ticularly impressive. Palmer di- I rected the construction of the transmitter and studios of WLO’S from blueprint to red paint. Pal mer’s record emphasizes particu- i larly his sixteen years of radio ! experience, his war work as a Western Electric Section Chief of radar installation, and the two ar ticles on radio that he wrote. The first appeared in the October, 1937, issue of “Commercial Broadcast Engineering” and the second was j published a year later in “Broad cast News.” Palmer is an assoc iate member of the Institute of Radio Engineering.
