HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1952-04-02, Page 7RADIO nEws lin. Ittmer PRE-PUBLICITY on the Can- adian Association of Broadcastera 27th annual conference in Toronto last week indicated that the most contentious issue would be on the subject of ratings, These are the figures which are supposed to tell who's listening to the radio, when, and to what station. Different survey firms have been issuing statistics on the same program, in the same area, over the same station, but with an entirely differ- ent rating, This had looked like a hot topic. A committee investi- gating the subject reported, how- ever, that they could find very little to complain of in this inas- much as the different statisticians need not have taken their survey sample on the same day, and therefore the results could not be expected to be the same, That took the steam out of everybody's counter-arguments and left the industry's enthusiasm for surveys only slightly dampened. A.LTHOUGH THE CONFER- ENCE AGENDA was devoted al- most entirely to radio sales and management, I picked up a few program ideas while the meeting Was discussing two-way telephone conversations, CKNW, New West- minster, B.C., runs a show Sunday night named "Call the Pastor". Idea is that a minister of the calmy-confident-fireside-chat type takes the air and invites listeners to telephone him and discuss their problems. The listeners remain anonymous, The audience hears both sides of the telephone con- versation. Sounds like a natural for almost any metropolitan area. CAB PRESIDENT, Malcolm Neill of CFNB, Fredericton, New Bruns- wick, gave Parliament and the CBC a raking over the coals for what he called the "completely impractical restrictions on the free enterprise development of TV" and called on Ottawa to "allow private radio to provide television service to all. parts of the country at no expense to the taxpayer". icy Jai A WHITECOURCH Sale Continues At Welwood's 5c -$1.
