PKRI.KK Sm Tipqrm Uvlv ArH Fd'tor Tn response to its plea to the hsicning public that it not hp required by the FCC to give up fifl per cent of its simulcast broadcasts, KFAC has received more than 15.0(H) letters favoring continuation of KFAC-AM and FM as presently on the air. KFAC general manager Edwin J. Stevens reports that some 500 letters were sent by San Bernardino County listeners after this writer's column in The Sun-Telegram Jan. 26. This was a most gratifying response, proving that there are people in the Inland Empire who want to hear long periods of classical music broadcasts.

Nearly 50 people wrote to me alone, and I thank them, and apologize for not writing to them personally. There just time. To clear up one point of dissension, the FCC is not demanding that KFAC drop totally eilher FM or AM. The commission is asking the stations to drop 60 per cent of its simulcast time meaning that different programs be broadcast on FM from those on AM, or vice versa, Cor 60 per cent of the day and night. Such an expensive arrangement could not be within the KFAC budget.
