4 Residents Appeal Radio Station

J (From Page 1) property for a commercial radio station "is ^generally in keeping with the character of adjacent properties." The seven yes votes were cast by Thomas A. Long, George V. Frame 4th, Herbert T. Wright, Randy Sue Brown. Thomas Sexton, Marie Knoblauch and Wayne Mounts. Two other zoning board members abstained from the case due to personal conflicts: Rose Johnson, because she holds a real estate license with the agency involved, Avalon Real Estate, and Kenneth Stocker, because he is a brother-in-law of one of the neighbors, Steve Chase. The property has been listed for sale for some time, with the Court House office of Avalon -Real Estate Agency. A printed decription flyer several months old gave an , asking price of $240,000. Two sale signs still remain on the property, with the agency's name on them THE TRACT HAS a frontage of 314 feet on Herefore Avenue and runs 372 feet deep to Steel Road in the next block. The land is zoned R-4 High Density Residential. Hereford Avenue runs for one block between Route 9 and the Garden State Parkway. Papers filed with the township say there would be eight full-time employes, including sales and broadcast personnel, plus a "small transmitter." The studio site consists of 2.6 acres with a three-story Victorian house and a threecar garage The garage is to be enlarged and converted into the radio studio. A 3,000-watt transmitter would broadcast, from the garage to a proposed tower on Court House-Dennis Road in Dennis Tbwnship. -* THE VARIANCE was granted to Russell W. McBride and his wife Candida Diaz de McBride of Delaware, who said they have a contract of sale with Louise C. Monte owner of the property. Mrs. Monte an elderly widow, now lives ir. a nursing home Candida Diaz de McBride was identified in the application only as "majority shareholder of a corporation ( Camuss Inc. ) that has recently been granted a license by the Federal Communications Commission, allowing it to operate an FM station within the Cape May County area." The McBrides. it was further stated, intend to occupy the large Victorian house at the front of the property. The garage is to , the rear. Russell McBride, in a telephone interview from his Wilmington office where he is employed by a chemical firm, ICI Co., said he and his wife "are in no way related to the caretakers of the same (McBride) name who used to live on the property." He said the radio station would have "an adult-oriented format, not youth rock and roll. When weget the final license, well know Receive Long Terms * NEWARK — Cape May pizza parlor operators Antonio Gambino, 30, and Anthony Spatola, 29, face a combined total of more than ISO years in prison following their conviction last week on heroin dealing charges. Their lawyer said he will appeal the U.S. District Court verdict. The jury acquitted Mario Gambino, 23, of North Cape May. The pizza shops operated under the names Figaro's I and II in Cape May and Villa.

more exactly just what our plans will be" MCBRIDE SAID he and his wife sent a letter to Hereford Avenue residents "to tell them something about us." One of the letters was received at the office of Dr. Robert J. Sorensen, 33 Hereford "Av- , who had originally objected about a radio transmitter interfering with his cardiology equipment. "We had looked into this and found out from Hewlett-Packard (the manufacturer) that it will not interfere, so we have no professional objection," Sorensen's secretary said. "We had pledged a small amount of money in the beginning (for the street's legal fund), and that will still stand. But it will end there (because) ours was a professional objection. "Dr. Sorensen doesn't live here. We got a very nice letter from Mr. McBridge. They 're obviously very nice people — and the neighbors objected to us when we came here, so we're not getting any further involved with it. "We've had enough publicity." Middle Tbwnship Zoning Officer Michael Vistenzo and Zoning Board Solicitor Charles James both denied comment on the case, citing the pending litigation. "I can't comment on it," James said. "Not because I don't want to, but because it would violate my canons of ethics." 4 More Stations? COURT rfoUSE — Four new radio stations appear to be on the way for local broadcasting in addition to the one in this county seat which is the object of a zoning controversy. Trade industry sources are concerned that there may eventually be too many stations for a limited market to absorb, both in terms of listeners and revenue. One license has already been awarded for Cape May Court House, and others have been allocated for Woodbine, Wildwood Crest, Villas, and North Cape May. TTie franchises are the result of changes in federal policy which now emphasize granting licenses to minority groups while enlarging the number of community FM frequencies throughout the nation. "OUR ONLY CONCERN is that it may dilute the market for a county of 90,000 people," Larry Keene, an' executive with WWOC in Swain ton and president of the New Jersey Broadcasters Association, said. Altogether, there would be 12 frequencies if all .of them actually materialize, be said. "It would be the most saturated area in New Jersey. There is no other area in the $ state that has that many stations." The license to operate in Cape May Court House was issued to a new, independent station being formed by Canruss Inc. "It's called a city license," Keene said. The transmitter is 3,000 waits, similar to a microwave transmitter. "TTiis group was awarded the license based on the fact of minority interest, which weighs heavily in their favor. We're delighted to see them (get the license). "However, I understand there is a problem with the location and the neighbors."
