Guest Sneaks On Radio Stations A talk-on the relationship of private radio stations to CBC was given to the Castlegar - Rotary Club yesterday by John Loader, Manager of the Trail Radio Sta- tion. Mr. Loader gave an outline of the history of radio broadcasting and spoke of the necessity of ad- vertising to the existence of radio broadcasting. Advertising assures listeners the’ station will give them what they want to hear because the radio station must cater to what the people want if it is to have listeners and sell advertising. “Thus we have more concern for the listener and his interests than does the CBC because we must attract listeners if we -are to have any revenue.” He explained there are 20 CBC stations in Canada and about 130 private stations. 91 of the pri- vate stations are affiliated with one or other of the CBC networks like CJAT is, and must carry a MEN'S. © UNDERWEAR © SiinTS PER 25 CENT @ PANTS @ JACKETS Gif ‘THE CO-OP — of 20 hours a week of “BC programs at.stated times.
