- The economic model of radio, that which allows all but a handful
- of AMs to operate, is based on selling sets of ears to advertisers.
- If it is not possible to get lots of ears in a particular area, such
as
- the fringe extremes of daytime coverage or via skywave at night,
- then there is no way to create value for an advertiser.
-
- Only with ad support can stations provide any kind of quality
- programming. You only get ad support if there are listeners.
-
- A "share" is actually directly translatable into a finite number
- of people, so "shares" are people, listeners, humans. That is
- because it is a percentage of the total number of people listening
- to radio in a given time period. Every share level in each market
- translates into a specific number of listeners or a ratings number.
- Share = people listening = rating. Three ways to express the
- same number, based on individual people listening.
-
- Without this data, there would be no way to price advertising,
- and radio would have a totally different sales model.
