To the five CBS Owned television stations, dollar measure is but small measure of the value of their community service activities. The fact that in 1959 these local stations devoted better than eleven million dollars in time and production costs to non-network public affairs programs and messages is a small gauge of accomplishment. Much more important was the limitless amount of care, imagination and skill expended to insure that these information programs met the same high standards as any of the top-rated programs in the most varied, widely-viewed broadcast schedules in television today. It is this consistent devotion to excellence which this year won for the CBS Owned stations more than 45 awards and citations for public affairs programming. And which provides an indication of the immeasurable contribution to the communities they serve made by CBS Owned WCBS-TV New York, WCAU-TV Philadelphia, WBBM-TV Chicago, KMOX-TV St. Louis and KNXT Los Angeles.
