To save on these and taxes sponsors have to set up subsidiaries or license Canadian firms to make, package and/or sell their products. 2. CBC limitations, mentioned above. A French Network executive told sponsor they are hoping one or two American-origin shows drop out. even though they're commercial, because of their content. They will not be replaced. 3. Not enough know about Canadian radio as a superior advertising medium. Ask any New York Canadian-station rep what questions he's asked about Canada.

Here's a contributory reason why some Americans don't know the facts: The only study ever made comparing black-and-white with radio advertising in Canada as to costs and circulation was buried last year because the results were so startling in radios favor.

The study showed such a disparate ratio so far as costs and penetration were concerned that the newspapers promptly hit the roof. Some of the newspaper-owned stations (there are 29 in Canada) threatened to quit the CAB. and the latter reluctantly withdrew the survey. Other stations, however, made comparisons of their own — with good results. CKWX, Vancouver, managed by Frank H. (Tiny) Elphicke. issued one showing the station to have a nighttime circulation I audience I some 12' , greater than the largest daily there, nearly twice that of the largest weekender, two and one-half times the largest magazine and between four and five times the largest farm publication and the combined Class A weeklies. It didn't compare rates, but CKWX's halfhour rate is $84; a half-page in the top Vancouver dailv is around $500. Q. How much of the advertising kitty does Canadian radio get? A. Between 20 and 25%. The CAB's Pat Freeman, who's in the middle of a year-long project to check radio expenditures of all Dominion accounts, estimates the total Canadian advertising budget at 50 million — with radio 102 SPONSOR
