Re: Fall 2019 ratings

"Also, the subscribing stations (not counting WSRT, WLDR, or WBNZ) add up to 47.3. That means around half of all listening in this market is to MacGarb (probably around 10-12 shares combined), non-subscribing noncoms (IPR, WLJN/WLJW, Smile FM, Baraga/Relevant), out of market stations (I'm including ...

Re: Townsquare Media

Hey...a post I can comment on. Having worked both "Up North" for 10+ years and at TSQ for 5 years, I can confidentially say that if ANY of the big chains were to buy into the TC market, TSQ would be it. BUT they would only buy the "big fish" (i.e. Biderman) There just isnt enough money for any of th...

Re: September numbers are in; are WTNR's numbers truly this terrible ?!?!

WKLQ is owned by Cumulus. Cumulus buys the book. Their numbers should be reflected here.......unless......

Re: Ratings are out!

"The problem any new station will run into is this rolling average ratings methodology. If I launched a new station tomorrow it would take nearly two years for the ratings to catch up."

Re: Neilsen Ratings Question

Incorrect. If you don't pay, you don't have access to the information, to use for sales, etc. And you aren't listed in All Access, Radio Ink, etc. But if you subscribe, you see everyone's numbers. Agencies subscribe, thus they see all the numbers. Everyone who has listening gets rated.
