We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

SECEDE? 767,365 ""'l -145,715 '621,650 FAMILIES NOT IN TV AREA Figures BMB + 3.6% to 1951 based on ANA Report. We don't hold with those who — as ANA — suggest that a TV home is completely and forever lost to radio, but suppose every radio family in WOAI's area which could conceivably become a TV home (only a little more than one-fourth are TV homes now) did secede from WOAI's 28-year history of dominant coverage. 621,650 homes outside the TV area still would be served by WOAI. That's 77% more homes than WOAI served in 1942. WOAI's rate has increased only 13% since 1942. Hooper shows WOAI leads in audience morning, afternoon and night. WOAI is a better than ever buy! Even if every radio family in WOAI'S TV area should secede, WOAI, instead of cutting rate, still might logically increase its rate by a very substantial amount.
