What fresh evidence turned up in the last year may lead clients into spreading out beyond the traffic hours? A. An A. ('.. Nielsen Co. survey in 1956 on how the radio audience accumulates Mondays through Frida\> showed that about as mam homes are reached in a week between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. as are reached between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. • John Blair & Co., working from a 1950 Pulse study of eight major markets, discovered that about 23' < more housewives can be reached b\ radio at 2 p.m. than at 7 a.m. (and they're not -pilling cereal and burning toast then either I . • Albert Shepard. executive vice president of Institute for Motivational Research, told SPONSOR that. "\ erv effective advertising may still fall short of full effectiveness because it lacks a follow-up." He said I MR studies show that the advertiser who ha announcements in traffic hours had better follow up with others in non-traffic hours if he wants an "action trigger" to set off the response pattern between commercial, consumer and product. • Success stories from such clients as American Airlines which uses midnight through dawn radio. GMAC which saturates week ends, and Seaboard Finance which goes into all slots are proving that all time is prime time. • Auto traffic studies show that commuting workers are not on the roads only between 7 and 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. In many markets such as San Diego, Shreveport.

Thus in "tv time" about half as many people are listening as are watching.
