all buys comes from New York (where C. J. LaRoche handles the Disney account), and if more money is needed to bolster a specific area, it is made available. In the radio ad area, stations are being considered not only on their audience size and composition but also on their ability to come up with promotion ideas and tie-in contests, and on their willingness to feature the music from the production — particularly as it involves the extensive cross-promotion plans with record companies for "Mary Poppins" albums and singles. The Disney organization has also produced for radio promotional use both narrated and open-end interviews with Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, stars of the film. These are designed to be integrated with live questions (from cue sheets) from local deejays. There's also a full-hour promotional music spectacular with the film's musical director, Irwin Kostal, and composers Dick and Bob Sherman.
