CENSUS TELLS FAMILY RADIO SET AVERAGE New England and Western States Report Most—D. C. Per- centage High. New England and Western States lead by far in the number of families re- porting that they had radio sets to enumerators of the Census Bureau as of April 1, 1930, according to the fig- ures for 15 States and the District of Columbia thus far compiled and made public by census officials. ‘Though it leaves out of account the number of extra sets in the home as | well as school, automobile and office ra- dios and the miscellaneous and other radios outside the home, the radio cen- sus, which was taken along with the decennial census of population last year, is the most authoritative index to the actual number of radio listeners in the United States ever made available. Considered a8 a Wwhole, this group of slightly less than one-third of the States in the Union, only a few of them in the category of thickly popu- lated States, revealed that less than 33 rl‘ cent of their families had radios. fact, there were fewer than 1,200,000 hflmll with radios in all. Wwith the average number of persons per family in these States at 4.1, there were cons siderably fewer than 5,000,000 home lis- teners in all the States reported. Though this aggregate is surprisingly small and might tend to indicate that the country as a whole has far less than the 12,000,000 to 15,000,000 sets freely estimated, it must be borne in mind that the most thickly populated States remain to be rej .~ Conspic- uous by the absence as yet are the re- for New York, Pennsylvania, assachusetts, Ohio, Indiana, Illinof California and many other tes, of which will be from time to time d me next few months. m official Canadian radio sets cen- sus, which is based on the number of Perlona paying the required $1 annual icense fee, reveals 472531 radios licensed in the on on December 31, 1930, or one to every 20.8 persons.

Regional networks usually consist of anywhere from three to a dozen broadcasting stations linked together by telephone wires to carry programs of common origin from a designated “key” station. While the N. B. C. and C. B. 8. together have a membership of more than 150 stations there are| at least 50 others which belong | to regional chains. stances the regional chain mem- bers are also members of the na- tional networks. Recognizing the value of re- gional coverage the national net- works from the start have tended to split up into regional units. Thus N. B. C. has its basic “red” and “blue” networks and its Pa- cific Coast chain of nine stations, to which it will add five North- western, five Southeastern, seven South Central, seven Southwest- ern, two Mountain and two Cana- dian stations at the sponsors’ bidding. Altogether, N. B. C. has 74 member stations. With 77 member stations, C. B. 8. recently organized its Dixie network of 21 stations, and will split its chain into almost any size for sectional coverage. It also has a farm network of seven Middle Western_stations. New England boasts two re- glonal networks. The Yankee net- work consists of seven atations, namely, WNAC, Boston, key; WEAN, Provldence. ‘WORC, Wor- cester;, WDRC, Hartford; WICC, Bridgeport; WLBZ, Bangor, and WNBH, New Bedford. The other| is known as the New England Broadcasting System and com- prises I, Boston; WTAG, Worcester; WOSH, Portland, and WJAR, Providence. Three high-power stations have long been operating as the Radio Quality Group to give a scattered but rather wldel))l‘eld coverage. They are WMAQ, C! WL Clnelnnltl and WOR, ewark. In New York City there is a group of three relatively low- powered stations that calls itself the Metropolitan Group and of- fers coverage of that area. Mem- bers are WOV, WEVD and WBNX. ‘The hrgen independent chain is the United Broadcasting Co., sta- tions, all along the Pacific Coast. Though it is uld to have backing of the Warner Brothers, motion picture producers, this network is reported to be having business re- verses lately and has discontinued some of its operations. On the West Coast also is the Don Lee System, consisting of San Francisco; KHJ, Los Anlelu, and KMJ, Fresno.

BY MARTIN CODEL. { American broadcasting, though it has recently come into its own as & thriving business, has created few, it any, millionaires, according to Variety. It has, however, attracted quite & few millionaires as a field for investment. If all continues to go well, it prom- ises in time to elevate some of its entrepreneurs into the seven-figure class. Possibly the cnly man who has made & million or more out of broadcasting per se is Willlam S. Paley, the 29- year<old president of the Columbia BroAdcasting System, who, with his family, purchased the moribund net- work a few years ago for a small and then sold half-interest to the Para- mount motion picture interests for & sum reputed to run as high as $5,000,- 000 cash and stock.
