Broadcast Council Awards Certificates The Broadcast Rating Council has awarded Certificates of Application for Accreditation to Survey and Marketing Services, Inc., of Honolulu and to Coincidental Audience Audit of Seattle. These are the first two of the "non-regular" services to have completed the reply to the Council's questionnaire regarding the details of their operation. The next step is to arrange for the audit of each measurement. Survey and Marketing Services, Inc., conducts a combined coincidental telephone (for home listening) and traffic intersection interviewing (for automobile listening) to determine radio station shares of audience. They have been in operation since 1962. Coincidental Audience Audit produces a report based on coincidental telephone interviewing. Their interviewers are employees of telephoneanswering services who do their interviewing along with their other duties at the answering service.
