Yet our 10 minutes have helped over 100 program directors make a rewarding decision for their stations. They've helped over 100 sales managers bring new ad revenues to their stations. Our hot 10 minutes? The demo tape for our AMERICAN TOP 40 program. It's made some radio history in just 11 short months. And we'd like you to hear it for yourself and for your station. With this short sample of AMERICAN TOP 40, you'll hear how our 3 -hour weekly special works. You'll hear how Casey Kasem's absorbing, intelligent presentation of Billboard's weekly music survey blankets the 12 -34 demographics. You'll hear for yourself why the production and content of AMERICAN TOP 40 has been so smoothly adapted to over 100 station formats and has sold over 600 local advertisers. And you'll hear a lot of things that might change your mind about syndicated programming.

Along with the demo, we'll send you facts. Ratings proof : AMERICAN TOP 40 is Number One in Los Angeles on KRLA. Our latest station line-up: 102 great stations as of 5/15-60 of the top 100 markets, 42 smaller markets. Sales testimonials: reports from stations of all sizes who are making money and happily renew-

ing each quarter. Production data : simple and flexible ways to make the show an integral part of local programming. AMERICAN TOP 40 is the most successful syndicated music program ever, and it's still growing, thanks to programming people like yourself.
