RADIO HOMES COUNT lssued for Co1' KyMiss' Neb ' NM OFFICIAL census figures showing the number of radio homes in Colorado, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nebraska and New Mexico have been made available by the U. S. Census Bureau. The figures show the official Census Bureau tabulation of radio homes as of April 1950 when the nationwide count was made. Also shown are television homes, but TV circulation was infinitesimal in most of the areas when the census was taken because fewer than 5 million video receivers had been manufactured at that time and not many stations were on the air.
