After a thorough consideration of the matter,Commissioner Miller offered the follow- ing resolution_; and moved its adoption; WHEREAS, It has been brought to the attention of the City Commission of the City of Sanford, Florida , that a recent ruling of the Federal Radio Commission.re- allocates the wave length of Station WIOD, located at Miami Beach, Florida, to a very undesirable location, reduces their power to one half of what it now is, and their time to one -half of what it has been, and WHEREAS, this Commission has been advised that such action by the Federal Radio Commissi will in all probability cause station WIOD to be closed, as it will be impractical for them to continue operation under these.conditions, and WHEREAS, this section of the State has derived much benefit and entertainment from the chain programs broadcast from Station WIOD, particularly during the summer months when the northern stations were not coming through good, and this Commission f eels that the dis- continuance of Station WIOD would be a distinct loss both to this City, and the entire State. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that this Commission urgently request that the Federal Radio Commission reconsider its recent drastic order and allow Station WIOD to continue in its pres- ent status, with full time 1000 watt power and present frequency. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Federal , Radio Commission at Washington D.C. for the attention of Judge. E.O.Sykes.
