In the mid-80's, back when Arbitron allowed clients to physically
inspect paper diaries, the GM and I spent a day in Laurel reviewing
the most recent returns from the Philadelphia market. I found at
least 150 with "Channel 6", "WPVI-FM", "WPVI 87.7", "Action News",or
similar entries written in during part of the survey week, all of
which were crossed out in red ink by the Arbitron editors.
One woman even wrote in her comments, "I'm so glad Channel 6 has an FM
station so I can keep up with General Hospital when I'm in the car!"
Perhaps this is a use for those HD-2 channels.
