We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Records are basic fare Top disk jockeys at WINS appeal to young adults as well as rock-and-rollers. Murray "The K" Kaufman visits bowling center (I); Pete Myers holds afternoon slot (below); Dick Clayton, morning man, totes Nescafe; Stan Z. Burns chats with guest change, says WINS i New York last fall from Gotham Broadcasting. As Mark Olds, WINS manager, puts it: "We felt that program changes should be an evolutionary process, not an overnight face-lift. We reviewed carefully what we had going lor us, and have tried to keep the best of it. "In some cases, we deliberately set out to lose teenage audience at certain hours as part of the change, jit's our feeling the ideal balance should be 75% adult, 20% teens and 5% kids in our regular audience." That WINS has successfully brought off the format change— with personality record shows, expanded news coverage, offbeat "talk" and interview programs, and new public-affairs series (including a month-long "Shakespeare Festival" of BBC-produced adaptations) can be judged by strong New York-area ratings and a 90% sellout of availabilities between Monday and Friday, plus record first-quarter sales. "I'd rather bat seven out of ten than simply be right one out of one times," says Olds. ^
