THEN YOU KNOW . . . Radio has never had a better chance to take a giant step than right now. But I'm afraid radio is in mortal danger of shouting and bell-clanging itself right out of that chance! And that's stupid . . . Because radio can be responsible and realistic and aggressive . . . And all at the same time. If you think your radio station should stand for more in your community than a wet nurse for the pre-shave crowd . . . If you agree . . . The successful station is the station that shows it really cares about its image in the community . . . Then maybe this will suggest a thing or two to you: • 7 have had genuine success in programming an outstanding station image in one of the nation's most competitive markets. I want to step up to: • One of the top 10 markets • A group programming position • A part-owner or equity arrangement Obviously, I'm not interested in: Storz or McClendon or Bartell or Star. And if, as you read this, you think I've eliminated everyone worth considering . . . I'm not interested in you either. Box 926P, BROADCASTING.
