Yes, WEMP keeps Milwaukee company around the clock with the latest news 38 times daily, the best in recorded music and a regular schedule of play-by-play sports. The result is that if you turn on a radio hereabouts, no matter what time of the day or night, chances are it's already tuned to WEMP 'cause that's where it was set when it was last used . . . and chances are too, someone'll tell you to let it set just the way it is. In short, WEMP is a HABIT in Milwaukee with Dad, Mom, the teen-agers, the sports . . . everyone! They're the people you want to reach fast, 'cause when you sell 'em, you're in business with a capital "B"! Looks like you better get a line on WEMP rates and availabilities, doesn't it?

Nominations Being Accepted For Edison Radio-Tv Awards THE Thomas Alva Edison Foundation last week announced that nominations are open for the second year of its National Station Awards for Serving Youth. Community organizations are requested to submit names of television and radio stations that are best serving American youth to their national organizations for forwarding to the Edison Foundation by Nov. 1, 1956. Charles Edison, honorary president of the Edison Foundation and former governor of New Jersey, explained that the local television and radio stations that are adjudged as having "best served youth" in communities during 1956 will receive a national station award. Each award includes an Edison scholarship of $1,000 for a college education which the winning station will present to a high school senior selected by a committee of educators in the community. The winning stations will be announced at a dinner to be held by the foundation Dec. 4 at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York. Winners of the Edison Foundation National Station Awards for 1955 were WTIC Hartford, Conn., and WBNS-TV Columbus, Ohio. Broadcasting • Telecasting
