Pet Radio Peeves Are Soap Operas, Lady Announcers

Soap operas, singing commercials, hillbilly music, and "too much talking" will make the average undergraduate turn elsewhere for his amusement according to information obtained by the Crimson Network in its recent college-wide radio listener poll.

In addition to the standard set of aversions, a handful of misogynists listed women announcers as number one complaint. On the credit side, more than half of those polled cited classical music as their favorite evening program type, with popular music running second.

90 Percent Have Radios

Probably of some economic significance is the fact that more than 90 percent of undergraduates have a radio in their room, and 64 percent of them listen to it everyday in the week. Almost half of this block of faithful listeners spend their time with WHCN.

Rearing out the discovery that classical music is preferred for evening programs, the favorite listening periods on WHCN are from 8 to 9, when the Concert Master is being aired, and from 10 to 11 with Symphonia.

Most popular among the specialty programs featured on the Crimson Network are Sports Parade, Armchair Audit, and Casanova Calling.
