Represented Nationally by the KATZ Agency Where else in this whole country can you find a universe like this— a big, rich central market with such important satellites ? where else . . . — does a central market exert such an economic pull on so many specific areas that are retail trading centers in their own right ? — will you find satellite markets that total 33% richer and 50% bigger than the metropolitan trading zone itself? — do you find such a widespread marketing area covered from one central point . . . and only by television ? — can you buy just one station with no overlapping penetration by basic affiliates of the same network ? Only here — in Indianapolis on WFBM-TV— can you buy more honest market penetration, consumer influence, for fewer dollars expended than anywhere else. Now it will pay you well to take another, longer, better look ! The Nation's 11+th Television Market ...with the only basic NBC coverage of 708,000 TV set owning families.
