Promos seem to be less common for 78s than 45s, but I do have a few. I think this is because radio stations didn't pay many records in the 78 era, they were mostly playing drama, comedy and other programs that were popular before TV took over that role. Late at night after the programs were done, they would mostly play live feeds from hotels or ballrooms of big bands. Paying records over the air really took off once the programs moved to TV, and the better sound quality of lp and 45 records came on the scene.
