Radio program preferences reveal varied tastes
Readings from residents across addresses show a mix of preferences for radio content. Mrs Hawkins favors music and football commentary while noting football's clarity improves in stadiums, and basketball suits live action better than radio. Doris Craven enjoys music and sports, with a taste for concert, symphony, boogie woogie, and football's play-by-play. Glenn Mcorton rarely listens, preferring auto radio on clear nights, and Jessie Hill praises vocal and operatic music, forecasting TV won’t supplant radio’s popularity.
