COVINGTON. GEORGIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER. 18, 1952
STATION WMOC GOES TO
1.000 WATTS OCTOBER 19
Radin Station WMOO, the Voice of the Piedmont, will he£in operations as a 1.000
watt station Sunday, October 19, it was announced this week by Relmont Denn’s,
NEWS publisher and WMOC president. Authority for the station to change from
250 watts at 1490 to 1,000 watte at 1430 was received this past week from the Federal
Communications Commission. It arrived just as WMOC completed six years of op
eration, the first broadcast having been aired October 10, 1946.
The original application for
the power increase was filed
more than a year ago but was
delayed as the FCC considered
a deluge of applications. Mean
while, WMOC purchased a Col
lins I.ooft watt transmitter, a
long with other new equipment
necessary for the changeover.
NEW EQUIPPMENT
This equipment has been on
hand for many months and
engineers have already mapped
step-by-step plans for the change
in power and frequencies. Pres
ent plans call for operation on
the present status—2so watts at
1490 — Saturday, October 18,
through the end of the Georpia
Tech—Auburn football game.
At the conclusion of the game,
WMOC will sign off for the last
time as a 250 watt station.
Engineers -will go to work dis
mantling the old transmitter
and moving into place the new
one. f nday morning. October
19. the station will resume opera
tions putting out a 1.000 watt
signal that, will carry for an
estimated 75 miles in every di
rection.
Announcing the long-awaited
changeover, Mr. Dennis pointed
out that since its inception
WMOC has served the Piedmont
SIX YEARS AGO AND NOW! , Si ; y o .‘ ” ’
struction engineers were busy putting the finishing
touches on WMOCs transmitter antenna and the photo
on the left was taken at that time. Below, is one of
WMOC’s newest and most unigue pieces of equipment—
a mobile press box. Constructed for the station by
Home Builder's Supply Company, the press box is
mounted on an eight-wheel trailer, makina it possible
io move it from place to place as the need arises. It
provides a weatherproof room to house broadcast equip
ment and personnel, while the top deck provides ample
space for broadcast announcers. It is from the 195
foot tower that WMOC will air its 1.000 watt signal on
October 19 when the station changes over to the 1430
spot on your dial after six years of operation on 250
watts. Looking over the scene from top the press box
are Zig Callaway, on right, who handles snorts broad
casts for WMOC. and Otis Spillers, left, general man
ager of Home Builder's Supply. , *
with complete radio coverage—
news, sports, drama, music, and
public service programs.
“With the power increase
granted by the FCC, WMOC will
he ir. better position to serve
its listeners, both old and new,'
he continued.
At the same time, Mr. Den
nis announced that plans have
, been crtmpleted for WMOC to
broaden its activities by serving
\ other Piedmont Communities
i with direct studio service.
MONHOE STUDIO
An agreement has been made j
with the Walton Tribune. Sand
ers Camp, managing editor,
whereby the Tribune will rep
: resent WMOC in Walton Coun
। ty. Studios will be installed in
the Tribune Building in Monroe
and programs will originate from
that point on a regular daily;
schedule, starting November 1.
Plans call for similar facilities
I in other Piedmont Area towns
j as soon o* arangements can be
completed and remote equip
ment installed.
New programs are being pro
cessed for the new schedule and
complete details will be an
nounced in forthcoming editions
I of the NEWS.
