Somebody decla-ced "The
March of Dimes" would not
get a line of publicity in
Oklahoma City Somebody
forgot there is competion in
the local TV field of communications
KOCO-TV—Chennot 5 11t the
jackpot with It 18 hour tele-
thon from 9:30 Saturday night
to 4 oclock Sunday afternoon
There's $40000 in the till and
the mail is still coming in
Ls t year with iII publicity
channels open "The March cf
Dimes" took $11300 in Okla-
homa County While the "un-'
authorzod" campaign in cur-
rent progress got the knife f:ori
the Oklahoma City appeals
board results locally will be
pretty amazing thanks to the
V3Ft audience cf the video tube
It was a robie purpose this
effJrt to relieve the public from
the endless efforts to separate
John Q Citizen Lom any de
preciated rube he may have
Doubtless something will come
of it as the lead article in the
current Reader's Digest indi
rates But "The March of Dimes"
is too big and too powerful- to
be killed by local ukase
We think the results amazing
considering that KOCO was an
Enid station with a tower near
Crescent just recently housed
in its Oklahoma City studios a
NW 63rd and Portland on the
edge of Lake Hefner
Surrounded by raw red dirt
with no circulation avenues and
no parking facilities an esti-
mated 20000 people piled
through the place during the
program It took a squad of
marines six policemen and a
bunch of amateur traffic hand-
lers to move the mob that tried
to get into the act
!COCO had planned a grand
opening for next spring Phil
and Les Banta probably would
have put out a lot of ham and
potato salad to get the burghers
through the plant They can
save that promotion dough
There has been no show like it
on the air since WKY went
round the clock for the benefit
of the victims of the Bethany
cyclone
Bill Alexander did a specta-
cular job as master of ceremon:
ics Ile worked for 19 hours
with time out for a shave and a
walk down the hall here znd
there On 7 physical basis alone
fcw men could have finished
such a marathon on their feet
with good voice and with some
brightness and wit And he
didn't get a nickel for his est--
vices
Total cost of production ac-
cording to Bill Epperson for the
"March" and Charlie Keys for
the station was less than $1000
