The figures are based on a schedule of 12 one-minute announcements for 13 weeks. Daytime rates are those that apply for the most hours between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Nighttime rates are those that apply for the most hours between 7:00 and 10:00 p.m. Thus, trends for prime time rates are not covered here. IIIIIIIIIIHII!!!lll]!llllllll!l!l!llllllll!!ll!ll!l!lllllllll]llili 5. How can spot costs be calculated? The need among agencies for quick methods of estimating spot campaign costs has led to a variety of prepared estimators, usually put out by reps. The SRA and Peters, Griffin, Woodward have put out spot radio estimators in the past and The Katz Agency and Blair Tv put out spot tv estimators regularly. John Blair and Co. added to this list a new spot radio calculator emphasizing the saturation aspects of the medium rather than the unrealistic gross (one-time) rates. The calculator provides costs for campaigns involving one station per market in up to the top 100 markets. A new wrinkle is the inclusion of costs in premium time, which, in the case of the stations covered, embraces 6:00 or 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Cumulative figures are given by groups of five markets ranked by population data according to Sales Management. All costs given are for 52-week campaigns, cover Blair stations in markets where there is one. Stations in nonBlair markets were picked by a group of media buyers from four agencies. Rates are based on January 1957 SRDS book. The Blair calculator is reproduced here. !>!!!llllllllll!llllllllli!l!i:ili;illlllillllili:!llliilll!illilllllllllllllll<!!ll!!lli:!lll NUMBER OF ANNOUNCEMENTS WEEKLY PREMIUM = MARKETS* 12 24 48 96 12 PL A N First 5 ' $ 2,500 $ 4,500 $ 8,800 $ 17,250 $ 3,100 " 10 .. 3,800 6,950 13,450 26,400 4,850 " 15 5,100 9,400 18,000 35,250 6,500 " 20 6,400 11,750 22,400 44,000 8,200 " 25 7,300 13,450 25,200 49,450 9,400 " 30 _ 8,750 16,000 30,050 58,900 11,100 " 35 9,500 17,300 32,450 63,750 12,050 " 40 10,350 18,900 35,450 69,600 13,150 " 45 11,200 20,400 38,250 75,200 14,250 " 50 . 11,700 21,300 40,000 78,700 14,850 " 55 . 12,500 22,850 42,950 84,100 15,900 " 60 . 13,400 24,450 46,050 90,300 17,050 " 65 14,400 26,300 49,600 97,350 18.150 " 70 . 15,100 27,500 51,900 101,950 18,900 "75 15,500 28,250 53,450 105,000 19,400 " 80 15,950 29,100 55,050 107,550 20,000 " 85 16,450 29,900 56,450 110,250 20,550 " 90 _ 17,150 31,150 58,950 115,150 21,300 " 95 ... . 17,700 32,100 60,750 1 18,700 21,850 "100 18,250 33,000 62,500 122,150 22,750 •In descending order by population size rank.
