WISCONSIN STATE RADIO COUNCIL MAKES FM SURVEY Forty-two percent of the homes in the Madison metropolitan area are now equipped with FM receivers, according to a report on a recent study made by the Wisconsin State Radio Council. The findings are based on a telephone survey in which £00 Madison- area families were interviewed. The survey shows a substantial increase in the number of FM homes over the 3&% found in a similar survey one year ago. In 1950 the figure was 2L.8$ and the year before that it stood at 18.1$. Early in 19L6, after FM was assigned to its present place in the spectrum, there were virtually no receivers for that band in the Madison area. On the basis of census figures on the total numberof living units, it is estimated that there are now approximately 11,000 FM-equipped hones in greater-Madison. A sidelight of the survey revealed a wide interest in FM reception and. service among those who do not now have such receivers. Approximately four out of five said that when they bought new receivers, they would insist on having FM.
