Produc- tion is by Harold Clayton Murphy’s Bed Continued from pare 35 —- other networks* practices of count- ing an advertiser’s use of daytime periods in computing the adver- tiser’s network gross rate, it will afford advertisers, for every quar- ter hour sponsored in the daytime, the opportunity of buying a night- time quarter-hour at 25 % of the nighttime network hourly rate. (Ordinarily, sponsors pay 40% of the hourly rate for a 15-minuter.) New policy is not continuity in the accepted sense and it does not affect advertisers’ daytime costs in any way, nor does it reduce the rate of CBS’ payment to affiliates for eithgik current or additional business, Murphy said. NBC Controller ^ Continued from page 35 -■ - 1 and Systems, reporting to Cress- well. Francis X.

I Teleradio-MBS Lhmm Continued from page 34 at the web, Taylor is a veep with- out portfolio, supplementing the work of the operational veeps. Ap- pointment of Gaines gives W T OR an official operating head, vice Ted Streibart, while Johnson’s official entry into the Teleradio family gives WOR an official engineering chief. Ditto Schmid's, appointment on the advertising-public relations- research side. Couple of other key changes were announced. Bert Hauser, manager of co-op programming, is on his own now, with co-ops a sep- arate and autonomous division of the network. And vet producer Herbert Rice now heads up a new program development department for the web and WOR-radio. Latter two appointments would seem, to substantiate O'Neil’s state- ments that he’s primarily in radio and has no plans for setting up a tele network, despite ownership by Teleradio of three key video sta- tions. Co-ops have been account- ing for an increasing proportion of the network’s revenue. ‘ And pro- gram development innovation would indicate that O’Neil feels he hasn’t gotten the most out of his network’s potentialities.
