SECRETS TOLD KRNT Radio has the largest audience in Des Moines and has had for a long, long time. The audience is predominantly adult. Central Surveys study confirms that KRNT is the most believeable station here. Here's the way all this comes about: 1. We feature one of the great news outfits in the nation. Every newscast on KRNT outrates its competition by a country mile. We're rough, tough operators in the area of news. We have more reporters than some stations have total personnel! This is one of the great news stations in the nation. 2. We feature highly publicized, highly trained, highly accepted personalities. We have the advantage that all our people are seen on our television station; radio listeners really "know" the person that goes with the voice. This INTER-MEDIA MOTIVATION FACTOR is tremendously important to the effectiveness of advertising. There are more widely known personalities on KRNT than on all other local radio stations combined. With listeners, clients, and rating men, we're the station with the most popular, professional and persuasive personalities . . . again and again and again. 4. We feature service to the community. Last year we broadcast some 20,450 announcements for eleemosynary organizations and 600 program hours. We spent countless hours meeting with committees, writing their copy, counseling them. We touch lots of lives this way. We're kind and gentle people in this area of operation. 5. We publicize and advertise our activities, our people, our aims and aspirations. In this area we make no little plans and we carry through what we start. People hereabouts know everything about all we do. We honestly believe that it is a great opportunity to be able to advertise a good product on this station. We've been in business long enough (28 years) for any test of fire. We know now without doubt that advertisers don't test us ... we test them. We test their product appeal, the copy they use, their prices, their merchandising setup. If you have a good product, good copy, honest dealings, and fair prices, you can get rich advertising on this great station. 3. We feature music with melody. Old ones, new ones, golden records (million sellers), albums, pops, classical ... all chosen with great care by a man who cares, programmed with care by people who care . . . introduced with understanding by people who care. In the area of music we've got a song in our heart. KRNT "Total Radio" in Des Moines REPRESENTED BY THE KATZ AGENCY
