RADIO STATISTICS. NEW ZEALAND RANKS HIGH. According lo Mr A. R- Burrows, Director, International Broadcasting 0111 cc, Geneva, there is now a global potential audience of 200,000,000 persons to tiie world’s broadcasting stations. At Hie end of 103-1 there were roughly 4 8,300,000 radio receiving scls in homes throughout the world, thereby making the broadcast programmes available lo 103,000,000. Great Britain and Northern Ireland had on December 31 last ill's! position in the world in respect to (lie total number of licensed sets, though Ihc United States of America slid holds llrst place on estimated returns, and also for the relation of receiving sets to the populationIt is lo Hie'credit of ihc British Empire that the sixth and 'seventh places amongst the world’s countries in the 'mailer -of density of listeners arc now held by Iwo British Dominions —Australia and New Zealand. Between lliem these two countries can claim 830,000 licensed listeners. Canada now holds eleventh place, with 78.52 receivers for each 250 homes. The South African figures, though not large, showed a, commendable increase up lo April last—s3.ol receivers in each 250 homes is the present ligure- By way of contrast, the figures for Newfoundland show a decline, which it is suggested is probably due to a descent from an optimistic estimate to a correct oflicial record.
