Bright and early yesterday morning this department
received a letter signed by 16 local citizens which in part
read, “We the undersigned are greatly in favor of having
the Wilmington-Durham High school basketball game
broadcast. . . can you do something about it . . . and if you
cannot broadcast it directly we suggest a transcription be
made and played over WMFD tonight.” It was a splendid
suggestion and this reporter used every facility within his
grasp to put the suggestion into effect. We immediately
contacted R. A. Dunlea, owner-manager of WMFD and laid
the whole thing in his lap. He told us that he wished some
thing could be done to bring a description of the game to
Wilmingtonians but it was impossible. Asked to explain
m it. _ KT5 A ” ‘‘in nr/lflu 1 ■ —_ _

get a telephone line—if he coulc
get one, as such things come ovei
what is commonly called long dis
tance and they are crowded these
days—it would take at least five
days advance notice.”
Well, that took care of the direct
broadcast. “How7 about the tran
scription,” we asked. “That is alsc
out,” Dick said. “The stations con
sider a game played as something
over and done with and to make
a cut of the affair would be like
reading yesterday’s newspaper.
As a matter of fact it is not the
custom to make play by play
transcriptions of such atheletic
contests. I regret that my hands
are tied right now but I have been
giving the matter plenty of thought
and may be in the near future I
will be able to do something about
the situation. I want to see such
programs broadcast—but we will
see what we will see.”
DO YOU REMEMBER?
It’s interesting to look hack on
radio when it was experiencing
growing pains . . . the many mis
takes and the oh, so many humor
ous incidents . . . which is only
natural when any industry makes
such rapid strides in so short a
time . . . radio of course revolu
tionized family life . . . but 1 often
wonder what would have happen
ed if the public had not been toler
ant and highly enthused during

those first hectic years—when al
most any program was an experi
ment . . . years when the average
station manager accepted the first
bag-pipe artist or harmonica king
that came along . . . and what is
more, featured said artist on a spot
say between eight and ten p. m.
. . . and the many hours of time
consumed via phonograph record
. . . the itinerant speakers present
ed to a long suffering audience • . .
then the growing pains began to
subside . . . the government al
lowed the stations to sell advertis
ing and things began to look and
listen a little better . . . Money_
actual cash—was paid to talent . . .
the quality picked up as the talent
found it worth while . . . and the
listener at long last realized that
maybe he hadn’t put his hard
earned money in a fly by night
proposition . . . Those were the
days WRBT was bom in Wilming
ton . . . Maybe the carrier wave
had a little more hum than was
absolutely necessary . . . maybe
the “fans” as they were called in
those days had to stand-by while
a program was being changed
over . . . but order was beginning
to emerge out of chaos . . . for
several years WRBT was housed
in the Calvary Church building on
Fourth and Brunswick streets . . .
but because of the commercial
tinge that was developing all over
the country the station was moved
to the seventh floor of the Wilming
ton Hotel. . . for a year or two the
usieners oi wumingion were enter
tained with programs that origi
nated on the mezzanine floor . . .
about 1930 the station was sold to
several local citizens who in turn
sold it to a syndicate from Tenn
essee . . . the call letters were
changed to WRAM . . . and with
this change of letters the station
was moved out on Princess road
. . . new studios built ... a new
transmitter installed . . . and then
radio in Wilmington really got
underway . . .
Well, thanks for listening and
we will be with you again soon
with another “Do You Remember.’
