Take one of the most successful radio entertainers in the business and offer his program for sponsorship on a participation basis whereby a number of advertisers can capitalize on his salesmanship. Together, you'll have the two most important ingredients for the recipe which has made Philadelphia station WFIL's "LeRoy Miller Club" one of the most outstanding local radio shows from the standpoint of both sponsor and listener.
