Westar satellites now broadcast 174 hours of programming every 24 hours.

We've grown a lot since 1974 when we put the nation's first domestic communications satellite in the sky. In fact, we've grown so much that Westar® satellites now beam more than 63,400 hours of programming a year. That's why more households receive programs carried by Westar than any other satellite service. Why are so many broadcasters turning to Westar? One reason is economics. As a rule of thumb, it's five if by land, one if by satellite. For example, the terrestrial distribution of a one -hour, prime -time show from Los Angeles to New York would typically cost $1,832. That same distribution by satellite, $390. Another reason for Westar's growth is uniform quality. Westar allows broadcasters to transmit programs instantaneously from one point to another or to many points. Even if those locations are across the continent. And reception is consistently high quality at all points. With reasons like these, it's no wonder that the major networks are using more satellites. Or that the Public Broadcasting Service now has 270 stations receiving programming via Westar. Other program distributors, too, have realized the impact of satellite communications. It all adds up to a brave new world for video and audio broadcasting, 22,300 miles above the earth. A world brought to you by Western Union. W Y western union Since 1930, people have THE LJTHERAN listened to us. With their hearts. HOUR BE iNS ITS SItONI! 5 YEARS OF REACH7NG PEOPLE.

Back on Oct. 2, 1930, following "The Shadow" on CBS, Dr. Walter A. Maier talked for sixteen minutes. A total of 32 stations carried his message. Simply, he talked about God. He gave people something to think about, to believe in. And they responded. Five million of them after only two months of broadcasts. Since then, the voices have changed. The message, however, is the same. The response: overwhelming. Today, Dr. Oswald Hoffmann speaks on more than 1,100 radio stations a week in the U.S. and Canada. His words are heard in 125 countries.

We are not lost in the shuffle at the Bernard Howard Company as often is the case with large reps. The reasonable number of clients Bernard Howard Company has chosen to represent keeps my station's interests constantly in the forefront and the service personal. I am dealing with a full - service rep firm with a professional management team, creative sales force, and comprehensive research capabilities. With eight offices in as many cities no other rep sells the country better. The Bernard Howard Company has demonstrated for years that they can sell with or without ratings. With a professional like Bob Coppinger, as well as Bernard Howard, who together have many years of rep experience between them, I feel comfortable that my national sales will continue to go up.

I can already see very positive results of the Viacom association with the Bernard Howard Company. Viacom is a dynamic, aggressive group, and their ownership of Bernard Howard Company can only enhance their marketing techniques and attitudes.

During the day, Sept. 21, and continuing into the week, the Reagan committee ran an ad not only calling attention to Carter's absence from the Baltimore debate but at- tributing his absence to an unwillingness to defend his administration's record. "Maybe [his absence is] because during his administration inflation has gone as high as 18%," a woman's voice says, against a backdrop of a lectern with no one behind it. The voice -over goes on to note that eight- and -a -half million Americans are out of work, and housing starts "have hit a new low, while interest rates have hit a new high."

In each, a Carter promise is isolated -on unemployment, taxes, a balanced budget, inflation and defense -and matched against the record.

Shogun's third and strongest installment drew 75- million viewers but with a considerably lower score of 36.9/57. Aside from the differences in ratings value at the time of presentation, direct comparisons between Shogun and Roots also prove difficult since viewing levels in January (when Roots aired) generally are higher than in September. Furthermore, to Shogun's benefit, it was broadcast during the current strike situation which pre- vented competitors from rolling out such big guns as Dallas in particular and capitalizing on "who shot J.R. ?"
