THERE IS NO EIXED FORMULA TO ESTABLISH STATION VALUES A pure slide rule approach by either buyer or sailer sometimes creates a lot of conversation but not much progress in negotiations for a property. After balance sheets and figures are reviewed, the selling price may be importantly affected by such factors as market potential, population characteristics, competition, signal pattern, affiliations, station personnel, good will and historical broadcasting background. It's our business to assist in working out a fair evaluation of all these elements, based on long experience in handling comparable situations in various markets across the country, ALLEN KANOER AND COMPANY Negotiators for the Purchase and Sale of Radio and Television Stations WASHINGTON 1625 Eye Street, N.W.
