Engineers Are Busy Now Pu*
I ting Finishing Touches on
Local Station
ORGANIZATION IS SET
READY FOR THE OPENING
Station Is One of the Beautiful
us Section, According
To Opinion.
Tentsitve plaits c*U for the of
ficial opening of Goldsboro’s radio
station. WGBR. on or about Augu-t
15, accorling to announcement of A.
T. "Bert" Hawkins, general maoagir
of the station. ,
Radio men are at present engaged
in putting the finishing touches on
the /station equipment Work has
just been cofhplated on the ground
ing of the aerial. Some hundred
wires were attached to the base of
the tower standing behind the sta
tion end. then buried over tbe eig*rt
acre plot on which the statioo Is
constructed.
Local men who are backing the
installation of the station In Golds
boro say that the building, which has
been constructed to bouse it, is
most modern in this section of the
state, far surpassing any in Ralegh
as to outside and inside beauty. For
approximately $500 and the neces
sary permission from the T C £
WGBR’s equipment could put out
the same power that WPTF does in
Raleigh.
An outside view of tbe station
from the overhead bridge just as one
leaves Goldsboro is one of beauty
and modernistic construction. The
plot on which the station is con
structed has a four-acre front and is
two acres deep, giving a wide ex
panse of land for landscaping.
Entering the station one cornea
into the main reception room wt'-n
the control room in front of him.
To the left of the door is two of
fices. one of which is an information
desk and the other for the program
I director. On the right there are
also two offices, one Car the gene'at
manager and the other other for the
commercial manager.
Walking into the main lobby one
is able to look into both the *arge
ana ■ small studios where all *he
broadcasting will originate. Ea -a
studio is finished with s concrete
Hoot resting on two inches of co*k.
which is entirely separate from th-t
remainder cf the bu.lding. Th i
cark acts a reducer of the noise in
the studio. The walls and ceilings
of the stud.os are finished with a
special fiber which absorbs any un
necessary noises. Entrance to bota
studios are so constructed as to
make it necessary to enter a sound
icck before entering the studios.
This also keeps unnecessary noista
from getting into the studio and
on the air during a broadcast.
Tdie building is equipped w-ith a
basement for the furnace, two rest
roorj^ and a work room.
The opening of this station wt<|
I bring to Goldsboro a long needed
| asset, and it will quickly find its
place in the business and profs*
nonal life of tbe city.
The Goldsboro lie raid offers its
congratulations to Mr, Hawkins, and
to the other Goldsboro ci linens back
ing this enterprise.
