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.

Six points to chech before you sign ei film-show contract 1. Can pilot-film quality be maintained? Pilot may have cost twice that oj run-of-mill show in film series. Check producers reputation, and/or his other TV film programs. 2. Does your time buying match the mechanics of film distribution? Simultaneous multi-market starting dates may mean costly extra film prints oj your client's TV show. 3. Do you have market "exclusives" and automatic "first refusals?" TV markets sometimes overlap; a competitor may be sponsoring your film show in one of them. 4. Are you covered in case of preemption of your TV film slot for special events? Your contracts should automatically extend your regular time slot on TV outlets. 5. Is your '"new" film show really a new package? Many reruns are quite successful, but your show may have been aired for a competing advertiser in the same market. 6. Are you protected against print-damage costs or TV legal suits? Clauses covering these possibilities should be in both the time and film contracts dratvn by the agency. MH * \ • m ■ *'-. \ ulerwood & Underwood 15 DECEMBER 1952 29
