Every morning but Sunday at 5:25 the notoriously noxious air of St. Louis is purified by the natural twang of real mountaineer goings on. These upcountry proceedings continue for an hour over CBS Station KMOX, a 50,000-watter with some 2,500.000 steady listeners. They emanate from a radio group known as Cousin Emmy and Her Kin Folks. There is square-dance music, a female duo singing something like Back in the Saddle Again, a comedy rube act, a "Western instrumental trio," and Cousin Emmy, who best describes the rest of the show: "First I hits...
Rich, happy, dollarwise, Ed Noble knows a good deal about radio. Since 1941 he has owned and operated Manhattan station WMCA a 5,000-watter.

Because of this rule, the biggest FM station in the land, The Yankee Network's 50,000-watter at Paxton, Mass, may not benefit by FCC's decision. The Paxton station, which cost $300,000, booms over Boston, Worcester, Providence, Springfield and Hartford, will probably have to receive special treatment if its experimental activities are to be transformed into commercial operation...
