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".

nounced opposition from Farm Forum
