"I've rarely seen independents sell time to other stations, and I've never known one to sell advertising news time," he said. In Channel 25's ad, anchors Jim Brosemer and Sheila O'Connor introduced themselves as the new station on the block with the energy to serve the Treasure Coast from its new Fort Pierce bureau. Bill Peterson, Channel 12 president and general manager, said opened its Stuart bureau last week. Channel 12's ads, which ran Monday through Friday, stressed its commitment to the Treasure Coast.

New accounts Colee Sartory of West Palm Beach was hired to handle public relations and advertising for the Palm Beach Airport Hilton, a 247-room hotel in West Palm Beach. The advertising, marketing and public relations firm also was named agency of record by the R.C. Malt developers of Victoria Since Fort Pierce-based WTVX-Channel 34 announced it would end its news programming, Palm Beach County's three network affiliates have been perched for the kill for a larger share of Treasure Coast viewers.

Oliver said his station is "ensuring an audience flow" of the younger viewers who were turned off when the news followed syndicated entertainment programs. "We restructured the whole station to be a competitive independent to attract an alternative audience," he said. Oliver said Channel 5 led the pack to buy advertising, though the station only ran its Brokaw spot Wednesday, Thursday and Friday during Channel 34's 5:30, 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts. Wayne Cunningham, Channel 5's director of creative services, said it is highly unusual to buy another station's time, but it was necessary to inform Channel 34's viewers that Channel 5 has a commitment to the area.

Cunningham said he was thrilled that Brokaw did a special spot. It may be the first time the news anchor has appeared on a station other than an NBC affiliate.
