COUNTRY PROMOTION OF THE WEEK

HAVRE, MT

KPQX-FM— BILL WRIGHT—PROGRAM DIRECTOR

PROMOTION— 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

This promotion involves playing collages, consisting of segments of Christmas songs, each 1 1/2 second:

long. Six holiday songs are included in each collage. The first listener to call in and identify all six Christmas songs wins a prize—a microwave oven, selection:

of jeans, etc. A different collage is played each day during the 1 2 days of Christmas. And listeners get the added benefit of hearing KPQX-FM jocks harmonizing on the collages! — COUNTRY PROFILES
