A new survey commissioned by the Broadcast Lobbyists Of Washington (BLOW) shows increased levels of dissatisfaction with the Internet among American adults."This proves that radio is stronger than ever," proclaimed BLOW President Felcher T. Bagger as the results of the study were released. "As we predicted years ago, the Internet is strictly a flash in the pan."
Respondents said problems with connectivity and annoying pop-up ads were some of their biggest complaints about recent Internet developments. See the graphic at left for some of the most telling statistics.
When given the choices of a stack of newspapers, a stack of magazines, or a radio, participants were asked which they would be likely to discard in the next year. Newspapers and magazines came in number one and number two respectively, with radio a distant third. "This shows the amazing power of radio advertising," Bagger exclaimed proudly.
More than 75 adults aged 25-44 were interviewed by telephone during August and September. The research was conducted by Elias and Bias Associates of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
