Unfortunately, the article states that the Kellogg Co. has contracted with Northwestern University for the 1937 ''Wildcat" broadcasts over WBBM. This statement is untrue and unfair to the trustees of Northwestern who, acting in accord with other Big Ten schools, have graciously permitted football broadcasting without charge by all stations, whether on a sustaining or a commercial basis...
...judge. When either of them spotted a traffic jam below or detected excessive road friction due to accident or highway construction, he spoke into a short-wave radio transmitter, ordered police-squad automobiles to the spot or offered advice directly to motorists by means of a rebroadcast by Station WBBM...
Sirs: I listened to your radio show last night with much interest. I was unable to pick it up on KOIL and then I finally located it on station WBBM, Chicago Daily Times.

I thought the program was well staged and I enjoyed it all myself. JOHN COWLES Associate Publisher Register & Tribune Des Moines, Iowa Sirs: Congratulations. ... I enjoyed the performance tremendously. I thought it very well presented...
...connection with these investigations of the sun's surface, we have made arrangements with Station WBBM of Chicago for nightly measurement of the intensity of radio reception with a view to ascertaining just what effect these electrical storms, which might be compared to cyclones or hurricanes on the earth, have on the strength of the radio waves. By comparing the graphs of the sun spots and the radio reception we were gratified to discover that, invariably, as the number and intensity of sunspots increased, radio reception grew worse, until, at the peak of the period of sun spot activity, called...
After preliminary experiments it was found that the hour from nine to ten o'clock in the evening was on the whole best suited for determining the strength of the radio signals each night. The broadcasting station, WBBM of Chicago, maintained reliable consistency in power which it transmitted and communicated with the Astronomical Laboratory concerning any departures from normal conditions. The intensity of the signal strength measured is that of the carrier wave which is not apparently affected by the modulations of the program broadcasted...
