WJZ, 8 la m. Chabner Shuber: Mane xiic inrui.wu Espana through the facilities of station omnipotence WIBA, NBC affiliate in Ri.hnl inner: The 7 p.m. spot is a tough one in view of the heavy competition on the networks such as Amos and Andy, Myrt and Marge and the Easy Aces. But if any one can buck such competition it is Perry Charles and his "Itty-Bitty-Kiddy Hour." The musicians will help, too. Views, reviews, etc.

Congrats to Frederick J. H. Kracke, Commissioner of Plant and Structures, for modernizing the municipal station's equipment. The micro-ray beam will be of great help in times of stress and the construction of studios in downtown Brooklyn will enhance the value of WNYC considerably. It goes without saying that the new Greenpoint transmitter will provide a much better signal than in the past The Britishers will try their hand at amateur programs.

They will pattern the simon-pure shows after the American idea except in one important detail. The gong will be missing and each act will be permitted to finish no matter what happens. Listeners on this side of the Atlantic will hear 15 minutes of the British amateur program on May 1. WJZ will rebroad-cast the program in this vicinity Spring departures from the airlanes: From WEAF the Eskimos and the Melody Master today; from WJZ Warden Lawes and John Charles Thomas on April 15 and Red Nichols Prom on April 17. star.

The program got its sponsor-man finally and there is great jubilation In the station, yeah man! Perry Charles, the diminutive eprite, whose cheery countenance has served to brighten Radio Row for many years, says he will be beard thrice weekly, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, at 7 p.m. on the 1010 frequency, aided and abetted by Joe Jordan and his orchestra. Perry's partner in crime will be another of the ether's veterans, the rotund and jovial Arthur Q. Bryan. And between these two esquires tnuch ado about nothing should emanate from the Itty-Bittyites.

This column has been a great booster of the "Itty-Bitty-Kiddy Hour" because it is such a mad program. Known as radio's chief burlesque of radio, it has lampooned and mocked every bigwig and top-notch program on the air. From Uncle Con to the Voice of Inexperience, no one has been spared the Perry rod. We wouldn't be a bit surprised if ne of these days the program will kid itself. What a name! As nonsensical as the program itself, and who do you suppose is responsible for the title? None other than that gay blade and sports announcer from Columbia, the eminent Ted (adorable) Busing.
