[IRCA] FOR DON K. : 1937 radio guide listing (Chicago/midwest)

["k4ape" <k4ape@xxxxxxxx>]

January 20, 1936, the Telegraph Herald, a newspaper published in Dubuque, 
Iowa, filed with the petitioner an application for a construction permit to 
erect a broadcasting station in that city. May 14, 1936, the respondent, who 
had for some years held a broadcasting license for, and had operated, 
Station WKBB at East Dubuque, Illinois, directly across the Mississippi 
River from Dubuque, Iowa, applied for a permit to move its transmitter and 
studios to the last named city and instal its station there. August 18, 
1936, respondent asked leave to intervene in the Telegraph [**696] Herald 
proceeding, alleging in its petition, inter alia, that there was an 
insufficiency of advertising revenue to support an additional station in 
Dubuque and insufficient talent to furnish programs for an additional 
station; that adequate service was being rendered to the community by 
Station WKBB and there was no need for any additional radio outlet in 
Dubuque and that the granting of the Telegraph Herald application would not 
serve the public interest, convenience, and necessity. Intervention was 
permitted and both applications were set for consolidated hearing.

Wow! Stations in 1937 had pretty good coverage. Daytime station
listings for Minneapolis, Waterloo, St. Louis, Fort Wayne, Cincinnati et
al...

Where was WKBB located? I'm drawing a blank....

How times have changed.
