In Boston, there's no stopping a Revolution... once you've got one going.

It's a tradition. New Englanders always seem to opt for the way things should be, rather than the way things are. And, as Bos- ton's newest television station, we've done our share of dis- rupting the status quo ... from '` "` "'' ' pioneering 24 -hour operations to producing over 40 hours of local programming each week during our first year ... more 'Ç than any station in the United States. Now, in our second year, we're producing more than 50 hours of local programming . °' `; each week. After all, when you x,:t ii live in New England ... you ' ' have a lot to live up to.

We know its influence, its selling power, and its costs... intimately. That's why we'll be seen on the air wherever big ad dollars originate, lending our support to this ever -expanding medium. We can help an advertiser more than any other station rep can. In a few hours, we can provide the amount of spot audience and budgeting data that might normally take days or weeks to prepare. We can provide reach and frequency analyses of advertisers' spot and network schedules on a market -by- market basis, and a post analysis, to inform them of how close they've come to their audience goals. We have a staff whose sole assignment is "One reason more goods are available in America today is that television the development of new spot business. We call tells more people about them." on advertisers and agency planners across the Frame from Blair's new television campaign. country, and we succeed daily in channeling bigger shares of budget allocations to spot TV. In short, we compete, effectively, with the major networks for advertising dollars. We're in business to expand the business of our represented stations. Our success is their success. We know how to make an ad budget really pay off by making a big splash with spot. See your Blair representative and let him tell you more about the medium we know more about than anyone.

Broadcasting Aug 27 1973 30 A special report in BroadcastingciSep 24

It's the new frontier in radio. The first by whom the new is tried. The first to put the old aside. A medium that took three decades to come to flower, but that -for the last eight years or so -has more than made up for lost time.

The ratings are going through the roof. The prices -if you want to buy time -are respectable. The prices -if you want to buy a station --are formidable. The prestige is enormous, with every age segment of the audience. The competition with older sister AM ranges from brisk to fierce. Many FM's are first in their markets in various day parts -and with key audience demographics. Those that are No. 2 are trying harder, and they're gaining.

Broadcasting will make FM its business on Sept. 24. If FM is your business, too, you'll want to be there.

And after CBS, three days later, admitted the report was "erroneous" and expressed its regrets, Mr. Buchanan said the statement did not specifically enough disassociate him from the Watergate affair. But last week the acting chief of the commission's complaints and compliance division, Arthur Ginsburg, rejected the complaint. He cited a commission ruling in a case two years ago to the effect that "mention of a specific person or group does not itself constitute a controversial issue of public importance unless that person or group is controversial" He also said that since CBS News reported its error "it cannot be said that CBS News failed to present contrasting views." And CBS News's failure to present as much detail as Mr. Buchanan would have liked "does not present a basis for commission action," Mr. Ginsburg said, adding that the commission is disinclined to substitute its judgment for the news judgment of broadcasters. Mr. Ginsburg also turned aside Mr. Buchanan's claim that CBS was guilty of "purposeful bias and distortion." He said that the commission will not move into such a sensitive area unless it has ex- trinsic evidence of deliberate distortion. The fact that CBS News was the only network to carry the Buchanan item and Mr. Buchanan's view that CBS has been criticized for "liberal and antiadministra- tion bias" does not constitute such evi- FIRST IN AUTOMATION dence, Mr. Ginsburg said. 75 CASTILIAN DRIVE SANTA BARBARA RESEARCH PARK However, the FCC is not the main GOLETA, CALIFORNIA 93017 TELEPHONE (805) 968 -0755
