AGENDA SET UP FOR RTES SERIES
Timebuying and selling seminars to resume Jan. 17 in New York. FCC's Lee will discuss 'The FCC Looks at Commercial Broadcasting' as feature of Feb. 21 session.
SECOND series in the Radio & Television Executives Society's 1955-56 timebuying and selling seminar, to open Jan. 17, will feature panelists and speakers who are high-ranking authorities in their respective specialized fields, RTES officials reported last week. Subjects for the eight weekly luncheon sessions range from rating services to program trends, agency timebuying concepts and the FCC's views on commercial broadcasting.
Launched a year ago by RTES and expanded this season, the seminar project was designed for the benefit of both timebuyers and salesmen, and has attracted substantial audiences. In the current seminar the first series of sessions, which ended last month, was intended primarily for "new recruits" in timebuying and selling and accordingly dealt with subjects of general knowledge and interest. The second series is designed to cover "advanced, specialized and controversial subjects of concern to timebuyers and sellers."
