[BC] CALLING ALL AM DAYTIMERS

[Bailey, Scott]

Nobody complained, as a matter of fact, it's still going on, as far as I
know. Remember Harold, this was the only station in the county, and
other stations in near by counties were not concerned, as they view it
as no of their business and more worried about taking care of
themselves, an their own Friday Night Football games and making money.
Also, no complaints from listeners to the Class A station either.

I guess things (as far as gentlemen's agreements) work far better in the
south, than in other parts of the country.

Interesting! I wonder about listener complaints or complaints from
competition (perhaps from nearby towns). This is almost a shared time
situation.
