Sunday Morning, January 24, 1937 THE ABILENE MORNING REPORTER-NEWS PAflf NINE REMOTE CONTROL PROGRAMS ORIGINATE OUTSIDE STUDIOS By MARY McKENZIK (tMitor's Noto: This is tlie fourth in a scries of articles dealing with broadcasting operations, the stories written from an explanation Given by W. W. Robertson, manager of KBBC.) I'Tcrjuently a KRBC announcer 15 heard to say "This program IB coming to you by remote control." In fact, there were 23G such broadcasts between the time the station opened In October and January 1. A remote control program is any broadcast originating outside the whether it be from local church, store or on tlie street or from a distant point. On ajl remote the operator takes along a microphone--in which the reproducing element, is a crystal of Rochelle salt--and a portable amplifier.

Purpose or the latter Is to boost sound up sufficiently to overcome any noise or loss of energy in the special line leased from the telephone company. The line connects the remote point and the studio, transmitting the program from any point into the mixing panel In the control room. Beside the circuit line, there is a telephone line between remote point nnd studio. Of the 236 remotes before first or the year, the programs were divided as follows: music 05. news 66, church services 30, football 17.

Man on the Street 12, birthday club sev- basketball two, speech two, pa- 'rnde two, and pep rally three. After the program leaves the mixing panel, it must be still further amplified before It will be strong enough to reach the plant over special lines. The sound goes from the mixing panel Into a larger amplifier, purpose of which Is to magnify the iound more. Still another amplifier in the control room lias for Its sole purpose the driving of loud speakers scattered in the control room and reception quarters. This i.s the "monitoring" system, for checking or listening to the output of the program amplifier.

an operator hears every tiling that is going on the wires to the plant by listening to the control room loudspeaker. The same sound goes Into the reception room loudspeaker and into loudspeakers in cixcli studio, purpose of which Is to keep announcer or talent Inside a studio acquainted with whfit is Boing on outside the studio room. It gives the cue to start their pnrt. When a microphone in a studio is connected with the mixing panel--the loudspeaker comes on. Wlien It is connected, It is known as a "hot" or "live" mike, and lights over the studio doors, inside and outside, ndicate that sounds from that studio are going out over the ether lanes From the large amplifier, into which the program goes after leaving the mixing panel, the sounds go over the circuit line to the transmitting plant.

Lines are different from regular telephone lines In only one respect, they do not go through any of the telephone exchange equipment. In common with all radio sen-ice, they are watched a little closer and checked more thoroughly, to take care of any small troubles which might develop Lo ruin programs in future. Line troubles include bad con nections, loose Joint in wire, or a short circuit. An ordinary line ha, two wires. Trouble may be caused by one wire coming in contact with the ground by falling down, fusion of two wires, wet cable or defective equipment in studio and plant.

Ti is carried by cable part way and remainder by open wire. Willie the line docs not go through the exchange switchboard it does proceed from the Hilton ho- i tcl studios to the telephone office. There it is placed with other lines 1 intended for north end ol town Into I cables. At the cable point closest to the plant, Mesqultc and Ambler, it comes out of the cable and then Li carried by open wire to plant prop- where it goes underground into UK: Iran.Mnittlng room.
