HOME ECONOMICS BROADCASTS
The average American radio station presents between one and two home economics programs, it was revealed in a study made of this type of program by the American Home Economics Asso¬ ciation in cooperation with the U. S. Office of Education. Ques¬ tionnaires for the study were prepared under the direction of Dr. Cline M. Koon, Senior Specialist in Radio in Education of that office.
A total of 342 stations were shown to broadcast 563 programs of this type, while national network companies broadcast twenty home economics programs. Of the entire number of programs 63% were sponsored, 5% partly sponsored and partly sustaining, and the remainder sustaining.
Approximately 69 per cent of the programs were broadcast in the morning, 29 per cent in the afternoon and 2 per cent in the evening. Talks on the preparation of food consumed 40 per cent of the time, while the remainder was devoted to other home¬ making subjects. In the neighborhood of one-third of the spon¬ soring companies used mail response as an indication of the success of the program.
