says John Guider, Pres. & Gen. Mgr. WMTW-TV POLAND SPRINGS, ME. The Warner Bros, library is sure-fire. These are films you can program dozens of different ways, and come up with a top rating every time. According to Mr. John Guider: "Last year we bought half the Warner Bros, library. The results were completely satisfactory— both as to ratings and to sponsor reactions. So we just came back and bought the remaining half despite the fact that we already had the three other complete major packages. Those Warner Bros, features have certainly proved a real good buy." Warner Bros, features offer big name stars, great pictures. Many stations run these films in several time slots, morning, afternoon and night. It's a smart way to put the whammy on competition, and profitable, too. u.a.a. UNITED ARTISTS ASSOCIATED, inc. NEW YORK, 345 Madison Ave., MUrray Hill 6-2323 CHICAGO, 75 E.
