SINCE YOU CAN LISTEN TO RADIO AND TV FREE,
WITHOUT budging from your living room, twisting programs on
and off with the flick of a dial, this means a huge audience but also
a fluid and slack one. It places a premium on the slick and the quick,
the noisy, the flashy, and ephemeral. It means pampering the audi-
ence, treating it as one treats a child whose attention span is short,
whose interests are sensuous and surfacy, and whose fancy is a
wandering one. Perhaps nine-tenths of the brains and energy in radio
and TV are directed toward finding something gaudy to catch the
attention, something wry to evoke laughter, something new and
ingenious to tickle the fancy. This makes for a somewhat bizarre
sprightliness and a sense of alertness and tension, but not for substance
and emotional depth. . . .
IN THE WORLD OF BOOKS A NUMBER OF AUDIENCE
TASTE levels are given a chance to operate, with none shut out,
whether it be symbolist poetry or the dregs of the newsstand pulps.
Until radio and TV find some means for providing a comparable set
of choices for varying audience levels, with no significant level shut
out, there can be little valid talk of a cultural democracy of audience
choice.
a quotation from Max Lemer's "America
as a Civilization" (Simon & Schuster, 1957).
The staff of WBAl humbly submits this folio as a partial
fulfillment of Mr. Lemer's ideal. We ask all of our listeners
to renew their subscriptions at the due date and to contribute
whatever and whenever possible to continue our experiment
in providing material for the "cultural democracy of audi-
ence choice."

THE NEW TRANSMITTER
At long last WBAI's old transmitter located at 6ist St. and Fifth Ave. —
battered by flood and fire, disadvantageous^ positioned for reception in
many parts of our listening area, and occasionally prone to cease operating
during critical broadcast hours — has been retired. Replacing it, 650 feet
above average terrain, atop 10 E. 40th St., is a new three-section antenna,
powered by a new RCA transmitter. We now hope to be able to broadcast
our 17-hour day at full power, without the constant worry of a breakdown.
Calls and postcards from listeners have already confirmed the fine quality
of the new signal. Many of those who had previously only heard about
WBAI's programming are now actually hearing it. It is imperative, to
insure maximum utilization of the new transmitter and antenna, for us to
know how and where the improved signal is being received, and we urge
all listeners who hear a difference to send a card specifying exact location
and comments about quality and relative strength. Our studio address, of
course, remains the same — WBAI, 30 E. 39th St., New York 16, N. Y.
