Some stations in the midwest do the same thing. They use standardized titles and formats. The artwork and sets are identical. A station produces its own program only once every three or four weeks (depending on the number of stations participating). The other weeks, it runs tapes made by the other stations. With four stations exchanging tapes, for example, pro-</p><p style="margin: 5.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica">duction costs for each are reduced about 75 per cent.</p><p style="margin: 5.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 14.0px Helvetica">$ $ $</p><p style="margin: 5.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica">Here’s the method a supermarket chain in the southwest worked out for saturation spots. The chain has the TV station’s leading personality tape four or five commercials on a Tuesday. Then it buys 20 to 30 spots on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to plug the weekend specials. By taping the spots, the client can use the same talent for the entire schedule and reap the extra advantage of having the personality identified with the chain.</p><p style="margin: 5.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 14.0px Helvetica">$ $ $</p><p style="margin: 5.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica">WTTG (Washington) creates the impression of “live” video background for one-minute local live newscasts and weather reports with the use of tapes pre-recorded on the station’s Ampex equipment.
