One -Man Shops do not have the time or resources to analyze, package and professionally market your stations. One -Man Shops must often resort to high exposure publicity to produce prospective buyers. In the end, one or two top buyers may not have been personal- ly called, increasing the chances that you will leave money on the table. Now there's a way to achieve the highest price for your station. AMERICOM represents radio's new breed of professional brokerage and financing specialists. AMERICOM is market in with America's hottest buyers and highly trained in the financing complexities that accompany today's transactions.

Old- School Brokers do not understand the complexity of financing deals in today's market. This produces buyers who may be willing to pay, but unable to finance, the highest price available in the market. Furthermore, Old- School Brokers often rely on old rela- tionships for their pool of prospective buyers, which may exclude the up and coming broadcast companies willing to pay more. Now there's a way to achieve the highest price for your station. AMERICOM represents radio's new breed of professional brokerage and financing specialists.

Funnel Facts "Funnel Facts and Fables" is a 10- minute program on video that sorts the facts about tornados from the myths. Produced by the National Coordinating Council on Emergency Management, it clears up misconceptions about what people should do and when they should do it when tornados threaten.

There's also a 30- second PSA from NCCEM that makes similar points. State Farm Insurance funded production of the programs and is offering copies to NCCEM offices and the media throughout the country.

To order, tell us whether you want the program or the PSA, or both, and specify 1/2 or 3/4 inch cassettes. They're free. Write: Funnel Facts Public Relations Department State Farm Insurance One State Farm Plaza Bloomington, IL 61710 r

Broadcasting Apr 24 1989 Exxon tanker disaster: radio breaks, and makes, news KcHU(AM) Valdez, Alaska, is on front line of reporting; talk show hosts want to organize Exxon protest

Since the March 24 spill of 10 million gal- lons of oil from a grounded Exxon tanker into Alaska's Prince William Sound, doz- ens of radio reporters, producers and engi- neers have brought every aspect of the ca- lamity and its aftermath to listeners around the world. They have also created several stories within the story they have covered. More than the usual round -up of network correspondents descending on the scene of a disaster, the story has involved Alaska Public Radio Network declining an Exxon Corp. offer of more than $32,000 to defray news coverage expenses (see box, page 108) and a proposed boycott of Exxon orga- nized by radio talk show hosts.

Don Jordan, chief executive officer, and Jack Greenwade, chief operating officer, will continue in those capacities at KBLCOM. The company, a subsidiary of Houston Industries, based in that city, also owns 50% of Paragon Cable, a joint venture with American Television & Communications, which serves 735,000 subscribers. The Rogers systems added 550,000 subscribers to that count. Van Valkenburg had shifted from Paragon to KBLCOM last August to assist in integrating the Rogers properties into the company.

We haven't yet seen what the campaign will say about free broadcasting, but we venture to guess it will all be true. Whether in its radio or TV incarnations, the commercial system has served the nation in an extraordinary fashion.

There may be moments when the free TV campaign's lobby- ing objectives are at odds with its idealistic ones. Three specific objectives are on its agenda: mandatory must carry, channel positioning and prevention of so- called "siphoning" of sports programing to cable television. Those goals have led the orga- nizers to conclude that broadcasting must accept the fairness doctrine as a tradeoff for congressional action on their requests.
