W1XAL (Radio Station : Boston, Mass.)

W1XAL was a non-profit radio station in Boston, Massachusetts founded in 1928. It was intended as a fully educational radio station with no commercial interests. Its programs were supervised by specialists in the fields relevant to those programs to ensure the accuracy of their information. W1XAL was able to broadcast globally and often sought to further expand its reach: in 1938 it was granted additional frequencies by the Federal Communications Commission to reach greater international audiences, and in 1939 it sought information from other NAEB member stations about the quality of W1XAL reception in their geographic areas.
