Detroit Stations In Publicity Shifts

DETROIT, July 12 — Radio publicity staffs of major local radio stations were somewhat scrambled this week, with James Quello, publicity director at WXYZ, ABC-owned station, moving over to WJR, where he assumes the combined posts of advertisement and publicity July 14. Quello replaces Bob Anthony, the first man to hold down this specific assignment when the WJR staff underwent earlier organization changes. Anthony is understood to have had several other offers.

At the same time, Loren C. (Bud) Watson resigned as publicity director at WWJ, effective July 19, and will open an independent publicity office. No successor has yet been appointed.

Further major row shift rumored was that of Harry Heilmann, sportscaster at WXYZ, who is reported slated for a sports director’s post at WJR.No confirmation on this report could be obtained but it was further inferred, on the basis of the rumored report, that WJR would take over ply-by-play broadcasts of the Detroit Tigers game next season. END.
