F S y .f ' ' r1 .t' .ST ' ,. r,,V ,'"r 'r:FS AG AN ¢ ' F1 Nielsen time is no time for humility. Especially if it turns out that the ratings turn out to be in your favor. So with all due pomposity, we'd like to point up the fact that this past season - as in the pre- ceding 13 seasons - more families tuned in the CBS Television Network in prime time than any- body else's network. And also for the 14th straight season, more CBS shows made it into the "top 15" than any- body else's shows. (While we're on the subject, this season we won again in daytime, children's shows and evening news too.) Now we are well aware that last season's tri- umphs are one thing and next season's pros- pects are quite another. However, as long as we've suspended our humility for the duration of this ad, we'd like to suggest that any network good enough to win for 14 seasons isn't likely to stop at a mere 14. The world's largest single advertising medium.
