"HURRY, CHIEF! LET'S GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS!" & It takes 915 feet of climbing to get to the top of WKY's new antenna, one of the two highest in America and the sixth highest man-made structure in the Western Hemisphere. But getting to the bottom of what it will do for sponsors of radio advertising in Oklahoma is really the important matter. The engineers figure it will push out daytime coverage considerably. Whatever the increase, it will merely enlarge the coverage which is already greater than that of any other Oklahoma City station. Nighttime coverage will be nearly doubled due both to a unique antenna array and a fivefold increase in power. WKY's new quarter-million dollar transmitter installation will be ready for the air in the near future. In the meantime and with present facilities, WKY is giving advertisers more coverage, more listeners, and more for their advertising dollar than any other Oklahoma City station. WKY is THE radio buy in Oklahoma today. It will be an even better buy tomorrow. u. s. ft
