PHILADELPHIA LISTENERS CANVASSED
The likes and dislikes of Philadelphia radio listeners have been tabulated under the direction of Herman S. Hettinger, of the Wharton School of Finance, University of Pennsylvania. The station preferences of Philadelphians (the 10 most used stations, and percentage of Philadelphia coverage) were shown as follows:
"A" (WJZ New York) 90.0$; WCAU, (Phila. ) 71.0$; "B" (Phila. ) 21.6$; "C" (New York) 16.4$; "Dn (Phila.) 15.8$; 11 E" (Newark),
14.3$; "F" (Phila. ) 12.2$; "G" (Phila.) 12.0$; "H" (Camden), 10.0$;
"I" (Phila.) 4.2$.
In relative standing of Philadelphia stations as regards popularity with laoal listeners, WCAU led with 67.9 $ of the radio families placing the station first, and 11.0$ second. The second station (designated by "Bff) received 11.2$ and 23.3 $ respectively.
The percentage of persons liking each type of program is set forth as follows:
Music, 96.2$; Comedy, 66.5$; Drama, 58.2$; Sports, 44$; Religious, 33.5$; Educational, 33$; News, Market Reports, etc., 32$; Special Features, 32$; Women's Features, 26.2$; Children's programs, 25$.
The results of the survey have been gotten up in multigraphed form and doubtless copies may be secured by writing to Herman S. Hettinger, University of Pennsylvania, or perhaps from Dr. Leon Levy at Station WCAU, Philadelphia.
