Use it more than any other radio magazine." ADAM F. EBY & ASSOCIATES Buffalo, N. Y. STATION PROMOTION What promotes the station, creates listener interest, promotes the advertiser. FAIR WEATHER When the gates opened at Northern Wisconsin's District Fair, Chippewa Falls, the Arrowhead Network, through its Eau Claire-Chippewa Falls outlet, AV'EAU, was on hand to cover the event. Regular Farm and Home Hour broadcasts originated from the fair studios, and 28 commercial quarter-hour programs were broadcast for exhibiting sponsors. One commercial half-hour show was also included in the schedule. To over 3,000 people went fair souvenirs supplied by the National Broadcasting Company, the Arrowhead Network and contributing advertisers. TAKE A MEMO Because WWDC, \Vashington, D.C., is still in the preliminary stages of getting its FM station on the air, it can't as yet sell the outside world on the advantages of its own FM facilities. But against the day when its FM signal will be heard, WWDC can sell the idea of FM. That's just what general manager, Ben Strouse is doing. And logically, he's concentrating on the dealers, via a monthly news letter. Letter briefs dealers on the status of FM at AVWDC, invites the dealer to demonstrate FM in his store by tuning in FM facilities now in operation in the District. Parting message: "You can see that FM is on its way. Pressure from you, the dealer, on the manufacturers, will speed the day when \ou ha\e sufficient F^I receivers to sell. There is a great future volume of business for you in FM." NOVEMBER, 1946 • 393 •
