Soon Mr. Darwin and Rogan Jones, the stocky, breezy owner of KVOS, had agreed on a contract, arranged to split profits from the "Newspaper of the Air." Listeners liked the newscasting, the "fighting" editorials which the radio station directed against the Bellingham Herald and other political foes. First trouble for KVOS came when the A.

Last week's merger, no surprise in view of this advertising deal, meant that Publisher Peck was to retire from the newspaper field. Still on his hands was the Times-Union shop, not included in the $900,000 deal because the Eagle's present plant, built...
...week the Conference had news of a novel organization called University Broadcasting Council. Set up in Chicago two years ago by the University of Chicago's Radio Director Allen Miller, the Council helps educators from Chicago, Northwestern and DePaul universities not only to solicit radio time and to split the expenses of broadcasting but also to write good scripts. With a $55,000 budget, Director Miller reported, the Council had provided its members with $300,000 worth of broadcasting service. Most popular Council program is the University of Chicago Round Table, in which chatty professors like Philosopher Thomas Vernor...
