According to the authoritative Iowa Radio Audience Survey (1945) -WHO is "listened to most" by 55.4% of the Iowa daytime radio audience, as against 10.7% for the No. 2 station.

High power is only a small part of the reason for this outstanding preference. In its home county, N with two competitive network stations, WHO is "listened to most" both day and night.
