The average age for AM listening is just under 50, so half the listeners
are UNDER 50 at present. Your statement is totally wrong, in fact.

Eduardo,

Your math is faulty. You are not factoring in the human lifespan, the
average of which is currently about 73 years, outside forces
notwithstanding. There are far more people UNDER 50 years old than OVER 50
years old. So, if your average age is 50, that brings your minimum age up
considerably, since you have far fewer over 50 than under.

The terms Arbitron uses, which they call "average" are actually medians. The
median age of AM listeners is under 50. The problem is that most people do
not deal well with mean, median and average in normal discourse.

The distribution of AM listening is mostly between 35 and 75, with the
median point changing in each market... in some places, like Phoenix, it is
around 46. In rust belt markets, over 50.

Over 50...really? That's not good Davy, that's not good at all. You
people had better get with the program and quick.
