IF The survey was made in Tulsa and in 40 towns within the .1 MV "Primary Coverage Area" of Tulsa's TV station, by Leslie Brooks & Associates, research consultant of Tulsa. A 3,416 interview sample was made, Statistically valid within 2%. The Leslie Brooks & Associates survey finds 212,940 radio homes, 178,498 as published by Tulsa's television station, on the reprodu map; and finds only 31,072 TV set homes and businesses, not "c 83,000" as claimed in the station's reproduced ad. In figuring both number of radio sets and TV sets, Leslie Brooks & Associates used 696,868 population figure within the Tulsa TV Area as given on reproduced map. In establishing radio homes this population fig was divided by 1950 U. S. Census average number of 3.13 persons family for the area, and applying to the total number of families resulti the radio set ownership percentage of 95.6% shown in the U. S.
