Radio to TV shift sparks debate on audience reach
A discussion on broadcast media notes radio’s broad reach into kitchens and porches with four listeners per home versus television’s narrower eight to nine viewers. It warns against dull programs that are merely verbal or visually repetitive, and suggests careful balance to avoid harming radio and theater markets. Local nightlife notes mention Riverside patrons, live music by John Anderson and Bryce Munson, and appearances by Bert Murray Macfadden amid wrestling talk.
