Radio listening holds steady as TV rises in 1954
CBS Radio executive John Karol cites a 1954 estimate of 927 million family listening hours per week in the United States, close to 1948 levels, with growth from population and rising auto and portable radios. He argues TV has not yet greatly cut into radio's reach and that personalized listening will expand. Liberace adds a WMGM program. NBC salutes Symphony of the Air without a conductor. New York Philharmonic youth concerts begin at Carnegie Hall with WQXR broadcast. A WNEW Make Believe Ballroom sponsor push showcases luxury goods.
