Secretary Of Commerce Herbert Hoover’s Try To Regulate It Was Struck Down By A Fed. Court. The Result Of This Was The Executive Could Not Forestall Competing Radio Stations From Broadcasting Concurrently On The Same Frequency.
It was the late fall of 1926, just 85 years ago at this time. The sector of radio, the first “WWW” — for what RCA then called its “World Wide Wireless” — was in chaos. Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover’s attempt to control it was struck down by a Fed. Court. The outcome of this was the central authority couldn’t stop competing radio stations from broadcasting simultaneously on the same frequency.
Taking the lead in a Congressional rescue was its resident authority on broadcasting, Lewiston’s Wallace White, Jr. By early 1927, Congress enacted a law based totally on one White had been proposing since 1923, one that set up a communications commission that has been the magna carta for broadcast regulation ever since .
White was a Lewiston attorney when first elected to Congress in 1916. By the early 1920s, White, spurred by the appearance of Auburn’s WMB, one of the first licensed list of radio stations in the country, became the nation’s leading advocate of legislation to meaningfully regulate the new medium. The capstone of these efforts came in late 1926 and early 1927 in the aftermath of the Fed court decision that struck down Hoover’s attempts to intervene. By Feb 1927, White’s bill, co-sponsored by Washington Senator Clarence Dill, became law.
The communications system for which Lewiston’s White provided the foundation some 85 years ago saw numerous prominent figures carrying out the legacy. Here’s a look at only a few of them.
Denny Shute : The name of this front runner in both radio and early TV in Maine has most lately been summoned in this fall’s debate over same-day voting. Shute, as GOP Senate chair of the legislature’s Election Laws Committee, sponsored the original measure for same-day voting in 1973. (Shute would be stunned by this year’s vigorous interest in the law. In 1973, neither party discussed its enactment. This was due to Court opinions that appeared to need it.)
More eventful to Shute nonetheless , than his sponsoring of same-day voting, would be his career in Maine broadcasting. This included co-founding and handling Lewiston’s WLAM in the 1940s and turning into the morning host on Portland’s first TV station, WPMT, in 1953.
By the mid-1950s, Shute was off to the first of a new series of radio exclusive ventures. This included putting WKTQ on air in South Paris in 1955. Shute did the same in 1959 for WKTJ in Farmington, a community which sent Shute to Augusta for 3 lawmaking terms in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In his first term in the Maine House, Shute became the GOP’s nominee for Congress in 1968. As Head honcho of the Secretary of Country’s Election Division in 1969-’70, Shute was an early champion of voting machines, which had only been legalized in Maine in 1967.
Shute returned to the legislature as a state senator for 4 years starting in 1971. To Shute, the high spot of his service there had been not same-day voting, but sponsorship of legislation that led on to the state buying some 37,000 acres for the Bigelow Mountain preserve.
Stunned by the sudden death at age thirty of his only child, Gary, Shute made religion the focus of his later years. He became an ordained minister in the early l980s in Florida where he lived until his demise there in 1997.
Frank Fixaris : The day after the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004, this icon of Maine broadcasting was reciting from memory every sweries champ and runner up for the prior 50 years. But it was not just his memory but also his amicable on-air demeanor that made Fixaris one of the most influential on-air broadcasters for just about 5 decades beginning in 1956. He was, as Portland’s Channel six sports anchor observed the day of Fixaris’s death in 2006 “the best sports anchor this city will ever have.”
Though Fixaris was sports anchor at Channel 13 from 1965 to 1995, his career was book-ended by a spread of on-air positions in Portland and Lewiston radio, his last 5 years as co-host of WJAB’s “Morning Jab” sports talk show. Throughout his career, Fixaris was a major booster of both high school and pro sports groups alike. (A similar role, that of a play-by-play broadcaster, was in the 1940s and ’50 ‘ in Bangor played by John McKernan, dad of the future governor.) Off camera, Fixaris was a founder and shop steward for the announcer’s union at Channel 13.
Bob Anderson : Elections in Portland this autumn has brought new attention to the position of its city’s mayor. Though Portland has had many of them, it’s only had one Duke. So preferred was Bob Anderson that it was on his head — during his reign as morning host at WMGX — that such a crown appeared, the results of resolutions by both the Maine lawmaking assembly and Portland Mayor Cheryl Leeman in the late 1980s.
Starting in 1963 till his dying in 2003 — braving an clear heart attack while broadcasting on the air — Anderson was one of the largest draws of Southern Maine radio, helping also to host concert appearances for some of the nation’s leading rock performers. At one peak in his career in the late 1960s he helped catapult WLOB, then a Top forty music station, into position as one of the highest rated in the country, capturing a 62 p.c local share and nearly 100 percent of all Portland area teenagers.
Notwithstanding carrying the big stick “Duke” title, Anderson spoke softly. Personally, like Fixaris, Anderson was both relaxed and unpretentious, this in a business not always famous for humbleness. It is one of the reasons his career endured so long, even into a broadcasting world challenged by various new media options.
Shute, Fixaris, and Anderson are by no means the only deserving honorees in a Maine TV or Radio Hall of Fame. On the opposite side of the mic tower many that also played a vital back stage role. Venturesome Television stories photographers Dick Sturtevant of Channel six, Gene Willman and Bill Goulet of Channel 13 quickly are evoked. So too do such early risk-taking financiers as Horace Hildreth, founder of Channels 5 and 8, Channel 13′s Guy Gannett, and Channel 6′s Henry Rines.
Wallace White would not have known many of them. He’d still nevertheless , be drawn by the role each of them played in navigating the trail he initially helped blaze, writes tagza.com.
