An information acquisition system for acquiring information which includes responses in answer to questions which participants have been asked by a radio or television broadcast program. The information acquisition system includes terminal equipment for inputting a response from a participant; an ATM network for transmitting, to a broadcasting station, information which includes the response inputted from the terminal equipment; network terminating equipment provided in the broadcasting station and connected to a predetermined ATM exchange in the ATM network; and an information acquisition unit, which is connected to the network terminating equipment, for receiving, collecting and totalizing the information, which includes the response inputted from the terminal equipment, via the ATM network and the network terminating equipment. The novel information acquisition system increases the number of participants capable of taking part in the program, while eliminating the possibility of busy telephone lines and preventing congestion in the local telephone exchange accommodating the broadcast station.
