The 1954 Iowa Radio and Television Audience Survey was made in March, 1954. At that time, over one-quarter of all TV sets were less than six months old — yet, in March, 59.6% of all Iowa homes had television sets! Here are the five-year figures from the Annual Survey: INCREASE IN TELEVISION SET OWNERSHIP IN IOWA All homes surveyed Urban homes Village homes Farm homes 1950 Survey 1 .7% 2.4 1.3 1.1 1951 Survey 1952 Survey 1953 Survey 1954 Survey 11.8% 25.7% 38.2% 59.6% 15.9 30.9 44.5 67.2 8.7 8.7 21.0 21.2 32.7 31.9 53.3 52.7 Now there are more than 280,250 television sets in WHO-TV's Central Iowa— and 355,100 families.
