4264-458: The number of audience viewers. New broadcast journalists generally start in the smaller markets with fewer viewers and move up to larger television stations and television networks after gaining experience.

KDKA would resume airing

4674-706: The radio broadcasts were men. There was a small number of women who hosted programs that were for homemakers and were on entertainment broadcast.
