CRYSTAL BALL ANALYSIS of Rochester TV. . . I PREDICT (a look into the Rochester TV future with Ervin F. Lyke, President of WROC-TV Channel 8) • BIGGER AUDIENCES FOR WROC-TV Forget the population growth in the Rochester area and there will still be a bigger TV audience because of the addition of a new channel. This has been the pattern in cities all across the country. With a larger audience Channel 8 will continue to have more viewers. In survey after survey, WROC-TV is the No. 1 station in Rochester. • MORE COLOR TV VIEWERS Sales of color TV sets are way up. With 70% of WROCTV's nighttime shows and 50% of afternoon programs in color, more area viewers are tuning in Channel 8 — the only Rochester station carrying a regular color schedule. • WROC-TV WILL CONTINUE TO ROCHESTER'S NO 1 STATION BE This prediction is based on a number of key factors: 1) Continuing surveys; 2) NBC's strong fall and winter programing; 3 ) Color TV, exclusive on Channel 8; 4 ) WROCTV's exciting local news, weather and sports shows.
