Committee recommended that institutions having broadcasting stations of their own use every means to improve and strengthen their service. However, "the larger number of institutions must depend upon cooperation with commercial stations to reach farmers and farm families by radio." Discussed a new daily USDA program through the courtesy of National Broadcasting Company.
The report notes that many college operated radio stations have experienced restricted operations during the past year. "Those institutions fortunate enough to have a satisfactory place in the air are furnishing a valuable service and should safeguard their present allotments by sound program development. Commercial stations offer a broad and increasing opportunity for the college information services to reach thousands of their people through a medium so important in the present day scheme of things as to demand careful consideration."

Notes:
2 p., Rural radio is a vital communication tool for many developing countries. Despite the technological advances in the communication field, radio is still the most pervasive, accessible, affordable, and flexible mass medium available. In rural areas, it is often the only medium that can rapidly disseminate to large and remote audiences, critical information about markets, weather, crops and livestock production, natural resource protection. Rural Radio implies a two-way process, which calls for the active participation of the communities in the planning and production activities of the radio broadcasts. It is the expression of the community rather than a channel for the community. It promotes the exchange of views, brings people closer together, stimulates information, and enhances the value of local knowledge.
