As one who also works in Memphis radio vineyard, I have nothing but admiration for the job that Harold Krelstein and his associates have done in regenerating WMFS. It is a remarkable achievement resulting from hard work, guts and imagination— above all, imagination. And you are so right that the radio broadcasting industry can in large measure thank people like Harold Krelstein for its resurgence In that we are agreed so I hope you will credit me with wanting to take nothing away from him or WMPS in what I am about to say. And. that is that there is another factor which has had much to do with revitalizing radio — the birth and astounding growth of radio stations like WDIA that program exclusively to the Negro audience. This exclusive Negro programing is the epitome of specialized broadcasting and its success is also the result of the guts and imagination that it took to burrow back down in the wornout gold mine of radio and find the new and rich vein of the untouched, overlooked, neglected listeners, who are also the new golden frontier for the sale of every kind of consumer product . . .
