Thousands of brand new eyes can see your product on WSB-TV This report is directed to time buyers and others responsible for producing sales. A vast and entirely new audience in the South has been opened up by WSB-TV. On September 30 WSB-TV began telecasting over Channel 2 with 50 kw. radiated power from the 1062-foot tower. Response was immediate — and terrific. From the Carolinas, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and deep South Georgia excited reception reports are being verified. Distributors are shipping thousands of sets. Since all characteristics of these powerful facilities are not yet known we temper our enthusiasm. Suffice to say at this time— WSB-TV today offers you the biggest dollar's worth in Southern television history. Affiliated with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Represented by Edw. Petry Co.
