Jack Roth considered the amount of money Bill Perry spent on
KONO/KITY promotions extremely extravagant. It was not unusual to
hear Jack in a loud and long boisterous diatribe in Bill's office about
the "insane" amount of money that had been spent on a promotion.
Bill always ended Jack's diatribe with the rebuttal that KONO
was number one in the ratings. KITY had very good
ratings. And...Jack was making a LOT of money ONLY because of
the money spent on promotions.
All KONO/KITY promotion money completely disappeared
immediately after Bill's untimely dead, September 16, 1972. There
was “A Disastrous Dip In The Ratings” from which
KONO never recovered as long as Jack owned the station.
