Hollywood Puts "Radio, at the price, can pinpoint the movie audience better than any other medium. Radio is integral part of advertising program, with up to 25 percent of budget spent on sound medium." "Radio extensively used on every major box office success in 1959. Medium extremely effective in pre-selling campaigns. Employs sound track excerpts on spot announcements." "Radio used for saturation campaigns, to presell a picture and during the picture's run. Theatre operators usually request co-op money for local radio use." 2o^ CENTURYFOX "Radio spots are used on 75 to 80 percent of the pictures released. Sound medium is found to be most effective way of reaching important teenage movie audience."
