WWW. "Dear -------: Your note regarding the elimination of commercials during children's programming has been brought to my attention. While our NBC affiliate respects your good intentions, there are no plans at this time to change our policies regarding advertising. We welcome all advertising from our sponsors as it enables us to provide the quality programming you and your family enjoy. Although you might be disappointed by this message, I trust that you will understand the essential and helpful role that advertising plays in quality television."--Form letter, circa April 1970, found in used book sold in Newtonville, Massachusetts in 1990
