Yes, says Bruce McLeod, asst. advertising manager for Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Co., in Toronto, "radio is not as flexible as newspapers. Contracts are time, especially in our business." But, he adds: "It is a fine advertising medium, and we're using more radio this year than last." Other weaknesses, as cited by another expert: 1. Rate-cutting by advertisers and some stations. 2. Little merchandising by stations. 3. Promotion is poor. 4. Programs are limited by lack of enough talent. 5. There is a lack of experienced personnel and development of new talent in all fields of radio. 6. Multiple spotting is getting worse. Q. Any research organizations in Canada to help the sponsor? A.
