Meet Some Folks Who Are Having A ^<\ood \ime 0/t\^eKti You know a lot about the advertisers on this page. But there's one thing about them that maybe you hadn't realized: these big names all have franchises on ABC. This just didn't happen, you know; there are good reasons for it. One reason is that we were able to offer them good time periods— and at low cost... (Network A costs 43.7% more than ABC per evening half-hour; Network B costs 28.7% more.) How To Get More— For Less What does an advertiser get for his money on ABC? First of all, he gets good national coverage. On ABC's 194 stations, the potential audience of 22 million* radio families have about 92% of all spendable in come in the United States. These 22 million families, most of them located in highly concentrated areas, include practically every major buying market. Thus, an advertiser can put his program on ABC at a good time . . . and for less money. . . and reach a rich, compact audience. This is why we honestly believe that an advertiser has greater opportunity to do outstandingly economical advertising on this network than on any other. This opportunity is reflected in such ABC shows as The Quiz Kids, Blind Date, Breakfast in Hollywood, Walter Winchell, and Counterspy. They are prime examples of how an advertiser on ABC can get a high rating at reasonable cost. And there are plenty of others that an ABC representative can tell you about.
