Obviously OUTSTANDING WMBD Rich Dominates Peoriarea the Market PEOPLE make a basketball team ... and TEAMWORK makes a winner. So it is with radio . . . and particularly with WMBD. It's the PEOPLE at AVMBD, working as a team, that account for its outstanding dominance in a competitive market. National CBS shows are popular, of course . . . but it's skillful local programming with widely popular personalities that's responsible for the lion's share of the warmhearted welcome WMBD receives in this prosperous market. The latest Hooper radio audience index (Oct.-Nov., 1950) shows WMBD has a phenomenal share of the audience! Mornings, 52.2; afternoons, 46.5; evenings, 54.6. Obviously, WMBD has a greater share of the audience in these periods than ALL OTHER PEORIA STATIONS COMBINED!
