A MCRFB Note: It bears noting how influential WXYZ and their personalities were instrumental in harnessing a commanding lead with listeners through their programming on the radio dial in Detroit, by early-1962.
In this Pulse graphic, and with the exception of the 6 PM-12 midnight time slot WJBK held a 23 share during their night-time hours, WXYZ garnered a 19 and 16 share of the radio audience — prior 6 p.m. — during it’s daytime broadcasting hours.
On Saturdays, note as well, WXYZ held a commanding lead on the dial throughout their entire broadcast day in Detroit, period. Leading with a percentage indicator marked 19, 18, and 19 listener share, in their respective time-shares reflected during the hours this Pulse survey had indicated for WXYZ.
