Interviewer instructions
A radio is a device capable of receiving broadcast radio signals, using popular frequencies, such as FM, AM, LW and SW. Accessing the radio through the internet or cable services, or other means is also included here. We need to establish whether the respondent is exposed to radio broadcasts, by whatever means.

Circle the code corresponding to the response given. If there is any doubt as to whether the respondent listens to the radio almost every day, probe. For example, after probing, if she says “I listen almost every day, but during the planting season, I'm away and I don't listen at all,” record “Almost every day”, since she normally listens almost every day. It does not matter who owns the radio or what program(s) she listens to. It also does not matter whether the radio is a transistor radio, part of a music set or a movie theatre. We need to ascertain whether the respondent is exposed to radio broadcasts. Again, make sure to read the entire question.
