Sunday, WHP and the Columbia network will advance the program schedules to comply. In radio this change is commonly referred to as "Summer Time" and means the opening of a new season of many new shows. News of several of these new programs will be found elsewhere in this section. The change to "summer time' is a major worry for broadcasters for in no other business does time play such an important part.

In the case of coast to coast broadcasts in addition to the ad vance in time there are four different time zones to be satis fied. Principally, network programs use New York as the basis of time reckoning. So when New York goes from EST to EDST (Eastern Standard Time to Eastern Daylight Saving Time), the Eastern listeners whose communities change to "Summer Time" will find no change. For example, the New York Philharmonic Symphony, now heard at 3.00 p. EST, will be heard at 3 p.

EDST, on and after April 28. Listeners whose communities remain on Standard Time, then will hear the Phil harmonic Symphony at 2.00 p. m.y EST. In other words, there will be no generally appreciable change in Eastern and Central Western cities which' assume Daylight Sav ing Time. Cities where Standard Time prevails will hear their fa vorite programs an hour earlier.
