- To answer the title question, eighty-two of every 100 Americans were in 1947, according to the C.E.Hooper survey (the forerunner of the Neilsens)...listening to network radio, that is. Performers, and their radio programs, such as Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Fred Allen, 'Fibber McGee and Molly'(Jim and Marian Jordan)are shown while on the air, plus network news commentators, quiz programs, soap operas and the musical programs of the day are shown and discussed. When the narrator closed this one with his usual "Time Marches On" pronouncement, most involved here were not looking at television as any threat to Radio just a few short years down the road time was marching on.
- A report on the Strategic Air Command of the U. S. Air Force aboard a giant B-36 on a simulated intercontinental bombing mission. After glimpses of air bases in Nebraska,Texas and England, the camera records the activities with the B-36 bomber---the efficiency of the crew and how they work, eat and relax on a 9,000-mile dry-run mission, that is as grim as the real thing.

- Other than newsreels, this is the first film (feature or short), relating to the United States' entry into World War II, released after the Japanese sneak-attack on Pearl Harbor. It, in addition to newsreels clips from the cowardly bombing of Pearl Harbor, is comprised of clips from previous "March of Time" shorts such as "Crisis in the Pacific," (Hong Kong's defensive preparations); "Spoils of Conquest" (dealing with the Japanese invasion of the Dutch East Indies); and "The Phillipines - 1898-1941."
- This edition of "The March of Time" details in on the issue of Holland and its Far East colonies as a problem of world importance. It shows how Holland, a small European country ruled by a monarchy, is having difficulty in ruling her Asiatic colonies. It shows that the Dutch, at home, are making gigantic efforts to erase the effects of WW II, but are having difficulties without the wealth of the Dutch East Indies. It then views the conflict that is rising between the Dutch and the newly-formed government of the Republic of Indonesia. A current view of a map of Asia compared to the map in 1947 stresses the point that time, indeed, does march on.
- America learns the value of wartime preparedness in de Rochemont's study of World War I's effect on average citizens.
- The subject deals with Europe's problem of economic recovery, following WWII, and the struggle against the expanding pressure by Russia. The film shows that the Communists lost their first test of strength in France when Premier Robert Schuman succeeded in breaking the Communist-agitated strikes. Life in present-day France (1948), with its economic and political stress, is exemplified by a typical Parasian family that wants neither the extreme Left nor the extreme Right. They prefer the middle-of-the-road party led by Robert Schuman. The conclusion is that The Marshall Plan (designed by and named after U. S. Army General George C. Marshall) will stabilize European economics.

Current segments include sequences of revived activity, the difficulties brought on by economic instability, and President Osmena's efforts in the United States on behalf of the Phillipines people.
