There’s also the question of how anyone would know that an increase in power came from a particular home, what caused the increase, and how they’d know what station was on the radio at the time. This one’s gotta be on the all-time list of dumb ideas.

Why would the power station care about or report the results to the radio station? Pretty low tech even for 1937.

John: It also seems like a show could spike their ratings just by asking all of their listeners to turn on their toasters.

A top rated program will have us applaud ourselves into a blackout.
