YORK PR-17A-9-45 October 7* 1952 CHRISTMAS FEATURE WITH DAVE GARROWAY TO FEATURE NEW SALES DEVICE FOR SEASONAL CAMPAIGNS ON ’TODAY’ The NBC -TV early morning news and special events show, TODAY, with Dave Garroway, will offer potential sponsors a new sales device for seasonal saturation campaigns during the period from Nov. 3 through Dec. 24. "Today" will present — in addition to its existing welltried formula of news, reviews, comedy and music - a number of origin¬ al features in keeping with the Christmas tradition, and which tie in with commercial products. From a TV camera shot of the world's largest Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center, New York, the camera will dis¬ solve to Dave Garroway at his news desk looking at a tiny tree banked with wrapped gifts at its trunk. Dave then will unwrap a package and tell his vast audience the advantages of having a sponsor's product under someone's tree this Christmas. Each day as the cameras constantly focus on Garroway, a sign on his news desk will remind viewers of the number of shopping days until Christmas. The first new sponsors to utilize the sales device will be Noma Electric Corp., through the Albert Frank-Guenther Law agency, and the Polaroid Land Camera* through BBD & 0 of Boston. "Today" is seen on the NBC -TV network Mondays through Fridays, 7:00-9:00 a.m., EST and CST. AMERICA’S NO. 1 NETWORK • THE NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMPANY
