WGN-Radio's 'copter service gets flood of favorable comments!
WGN-Radio scored a Chicago "first" several months ago with evening rush hour traffic and news bulletins beamed from a helicopter by Chicago police officer Leonard Baldy.
Recently when this service was expanded to the morning hours, the flood of approving comments by phone, wire and letter proved that the program had built a sizeable audience of loyal WGN-Radio listeners.
• "Thank you for your kindly tip on traffic the other night. I saved a half an hour on the outer drive thanks to your advice."
Mr. D. J. Freeze, 7621 Wilsham Ave., Chicago 31, III.
"... and Officer L. Baldy, is cutting down on accidents — believe me! And it's the best guide for all on the road. Thanks for the swell service."
Harry J. Axal, 6243 S. Ashland Ave., Chicago, III.
"... I'd like to express my appreciation for the late afternoon and early evening broadcasts covering the traffic movements in and around the Chicago area from a helicopter. Keep up with the good work." Mr. Floyd N. Gatrell, 406 Morgan Blvd., Valparaiso, Ind.
"... tell Officer Baldy I am most grateful for the fine service being rendered by the Chicago Police Department." Genevieve Austin, C. S., 16918 S. Wood St., Hazel Crest, III.
"... the traffic reports are terrific and more cities should
adopt this same technique."
Mrs. W. F. Gruning, Jr., 3718 N. 92nd St., Milwaukee, Wis.
In providing this valuable service to the people of Chicagoland, WGN-Radio and the Chicago Police Department have the full cooperation of the Traffic Communications Center of Chicago's Department of Streets and Sanitation; the Citizens Traffic Safety Board: the National Safety Council and The Chicago Motor Club.
This type of programming is just one reason why WGNRadio delivers loyal audiences for advertisers who want to sell all Chicagoland.
