GENERAL

The Claim

Out of 38 survey respondents, 18 reported listening to DWSA radio and 20 reported not listening to DWSA radio.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

No evidence supports the existence of this survey or its reported results. None of the credible audience measurement sources (Nielsen, Pew, Edison Research) reference a "DWSA radio" survey, and the only entity matching "DWSA" in the evidence appears to be a water/sewer authority, not a radio station. The specific 18/20 split from 38 respondents cannot be traced to any primary source, dataset, or publication.

Caveats

  • No primary source, dataset, or publication documenting this 38-respondent DWSA radio survey has been identified.
  • The only 'DWSA' entity found in the evidence (ddcwsa.com) is a water/sewer authority website, not a radio outlet.
  • The claim's internal mathematical consistency (18 + 20 = 38) does not constitute evidence that the survey actually occurred.
