WBUR does TV ads

[Dan.Strassberg]

No, but I must have seen the same TV ad for WBUR and I wondered 
whether WBZ accepted the ads because they were legally required not to 
turn them down, or they did it notwithstanding that the ads advertise 
a station that competes with WBZ (AM), or they did it because the TV 
people said to themselves, "nobody watches such spots anyhow, so what 
harm can it do?" If the last, they are denigrating the efficacy and 
value of their own product! If WBZ-TV employees appear on WBUR 
fund-raisers (can't remember such appearances in the recent past), 
could this be part of some sort of tradeout? After all, appearances by 
TV personalities on public radio fund-raisers can be allegeged to be 
of promotional value to the TV station.
