BROADCASTING, January 9, 1967 7 If people don't believe in the station, they won't believe you can teach them the Bugaboo in 3 easy lessons.

People in Boston believe WBZ knows what's happening. Because WBZ is where it's happening. Long ago, WBZ decided that you don't get to be Boston's favorite station by guessing what people want to hear. You have to ask them. (The last time WBZ asked, within two weeks 215,000 listeners called the station to say what kind of music they wanted to hear.) It's all a part of the WBZ philosophy of keeping tuned in to its town. That's why WBZ was the first station to introduce the Beatles. And adopt a station jingle with a swinging harpsichord. Like newsmen at other Group W stations, WBZ's reporters run themselves ragged to make news reports as up -to- the -minute as possible with 28 newscasts a day. And at 6:00 P. M. every night, there's a special half -hour news in depth, followed by Bob Kennedy /Contact, a 90- minute show of hot discussion on controversial issues Boston cares about. Like all Group W stations in their communities, WBZ has earned Boston's respect and believability, by catering to Boston's tastes. Now, when a man tries to please all of the people all of the time, you send him to a psychiatrist. But when a radio station does it, if you're smart you send them your product. GROUP WBZ

Here is one of the most potent vehicles ever to enter syndication (just ask General Foods, full sponsor of the series during its entire run on CBS).

THE SPIRIT OF DETROIT,' designed by famed Detroit sculptor Marshall Fredericks, represents "the universal spirit of man as an expression of God." The 16 -foot, 8 -ton green patined bronze welcomes visitors to the City -County building. Detroiters affectionately call it "Jolly Green Giant."

Just as Detroiters regard this symbolic sculpture as distinctive of Detroit, so they have regarded The WWJ Stations as distinctively Detroit for 46 years. Why? Because of programming that reflects the city's own interest in local news, sports, entertainment, public affairs, and community service. And, because of WWJ's home -ownership by The Detroit News. When you ask a Detroiter which radio and TV stations are distinctively Detroit, he'll instinctively tell you "WWJ."

WWJ and WWJ -TV OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE DETROIT NEWS. AFFILIATED WITH NBC. NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES: PETERS, GRIFFIN, WOODWARD, INC. What have trucks done for you lately?

Look around you. Do you see anything that has not come to you by truck? Take food for example. Clothes, cosmetics, garden tools, fuel, sporting goods -or you name it. Just thought we'd mention this since it's an idea that might not have occurred to you.

The CBS Radio division's revenues in 1966 were the highest since 1958, with network sales up 11% from 1965 while combined sales of the seven CBS - owned radio stations rose 6% to set a new record. Arthur Hull Hayes, president of the division, reported last week that advertising revenues for radio as a whole "may approach the billion -dollar mark during the next 12 months," and noted that "this milestone has already been reached if advertiser expenditures for programs and commericals are added to time costs." Radio time sales in 1965, latest year for which official FCC figures are available, totaled $827.8 million, the highest in history.

But there is no unanimity within the commission as to the effect that TWENTY -EIGHT MILLION the proposed changes in the law will have on the CATV industry-or even whether there will be any changes. The general counsel's office and some TELEVISION HOMES commissioners are said to feel that if CATV's are required to pay for their programing the advantage they as- sertedly have over television stations each amci eoenv week would disappear and, with it, the need for much of the present regulation. A major premise of the present rules is that CATV systems, which simply pick programing out of the air, have an unfair advantage over stations that have to pay for their material. Some commission officials are said to have expressed a private view that CATV systems would be "killed off" in the major markets if forced to dicker with the multitude of copyright holders for exclusive rights to their material. The burden, according to this view,

BROADCASTING, January 9, 1967 57 Though the TK-44 field camera will not be commercially available until mid -1968, the industry has expected the announcement of this equipment by RCA (BROADCASTING, Jan. 2). The camera weighs approximately 135 pounds, less detachable viewfinder and lens. According to C. H. Colledge, vice president and general manager, RCA broadcast and communications products division, the new camera uses a three -inch image orthicon type tube with improved signal -to -noise ratio for the luminance signal. He said it combines ease of handling with the performance of RCA's four -tube pickup system. Mr. Colledge said that a prototype TK-44 will be demonstrated at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Chicago. The camera will be in the $80,000 price range.

Still more that it could to stop the production. Negro newspapers wrote editorials about it. Negro politicians de- nounced it. Possibly it could be chalked up to the inherent hazards of working on location. According to Stuart Schulberg, producer of the show, there probably wouldn't have been any fuss if the taping had been done in a studio. But Mr. Schulberg wanted his production to have reality. Maybe that's where the trouble began. The show itself sprang out of NBC Experiment in Television (formerly called Spectrum: Experiments in Television), a series of 10 programs designed to explore new theatrical expressions. The series was first announced by NBC President Julian Goodman in a commence- ment address to the graduating class of Western Kentucky University (BROADCASTING, Aug. 8, 1966). Sub- sequently "Losers Weepers," an original play by Harry E. Dolan, was set as the first program in the new A scene from NBC -TV's 'Losers Weepers' hour Sunday series (3:30 -4:30 p.m.).

Somewhere in the new NAB headquarters edifice for which ground may be broken this Radio's RADAR year there should be a plaque or perhaps the board room dedicated to the first "Dean of American Broadcasters ". NE of radio's biggest sales problems is its audiences: They're so big they're hard to believe. Anything that helps document their dimensions, therefore, must help the sales effort, because it helps dispel the notion that no medium could possibly deliver that many people at so little cost. For this reason alone, the four national radio networks must be commended for their decision, almost unique in itself, to unite in conducting extensive and expensive tests of a new research technique (BROADCASTING, Jan. 2). The project, called RADAR for radio's all- dimension audience research, is essentially an elaboration on the CRAM systems (cumulative radio audience method) developed and tested by NBC over the past three years. The goal is to produce cumulative as well as quarter -hour radio audience figures and to do so in terms of people listening rather than homes tuned in. Radio audience research has properly, though belatedly, been given high -priority attention by broadcasters in the past few years. The most spectacular recent example was the All Radio Methodology Study (ARMS) conducted by the Radio Advertising Bureau and the National Association of Broadcasters, which has already produced several changes in the ways audiences are measured. The CRAM technique Drawn for BROADCASTING by Sid Nix came along too late to be included in the ARMS study, and "It is not just another ventriloquist it's the governor of its is to the credit of the four networks that they have de- Alabama making a speech!"
