IOWA PEOPLE BY RADIO! Iowa Radio Users Spend More Than Twice As Much Time With Radio As With All Other Media Combined! Gag-writers' humor to the contrary, we all know that the American housewife is a very hardworking individual. Much as she might like it, there's relatively little time for "chaise longues, bonbons and novels" (or for television, magazines and newspapers). What a plus this is for advertisers who use radio! The 1952 Iowa Radio-Television Audience Survey shows that Iowa women use radio 44.6% of all the weekday time they are "at home and awake". 48.8% of this time they are also "working in the home" — cooking, washing dishes, etc., etc. They average 5.75 hours per day listening, as compared with 1.56 hours watching TV, thirty-four minutes reading newspapers, and twenty-three minutes reading magazines! 18 MAY 1953 WHO is the favorite radio station in Iowa — is "heard regularly" by 68.5% of all Iowa families, as compared with 31.9% for Station "B". Write for your copy of the Survey, today. It's one of the industry's most highly-respected audience analyses. You will find it intensely interesting.
