M., it is a record show of popular music with a boy-girl angle of light patter, events about town, and shopping information. Talent on this show is Phyllis Webb Soehl, Joske's Radio Director. She uses the air name of Peggy Wilson, teamed with Bob Holleron, free-lance sports announcer. Promotion was given this show through advertising and publicity stories in local dailies, direct mail, and so forth. This show is preceded by "News by Air," a sponsored show of eight years' standing. It is followed by CBS "News of America" which recently won two first prizes in national competitions. Thus "Good Morning Shew" has a good position between two well-accepted programs. Makes for greater listenability. The account was placed through the Pitluk Advertising Company, Alamo National Bank Building, San Antonio, Texas. Sure to have an effect on San Antonio listeners is this huge programming plan put into effect by Joske's of Texas. The shows please both men and women, because of the specialized appeal that has been put in them. The Farm and Ranch show has a large potential audience in the broadcasting area, and is a good show for promotion of Joske's separate Farm and Ranch Store. The two latter shows with their shopping hints work right into good promotions for Joske's large establishment. Keeping their store in the limelight should be no problem for Joske's of Texas with so extended a radio campaign on KTSA. JANUARY, 1949 21
