Boy, times certainly have changed at CBS,  back before the merger Black
Rock issued a directive that NO ONE was to do product endorsements of
this kind,  I specifically remember because one of the weight loss
companies came into Oldies when we were still on Winter Street and put
out a huge spread in the conference room to try to get one of us to agree
to go on their plan for free in exchange for product endorsements on the
air.
