The standard daypart is 7 to Midnight.


Using the 6th largest city, Houston, as an example, between 7 PM and
midnight...as a percentage of all persons, whether using radio or not, it
is 0.6%. In 18-34 year olds, the share is 0.4% of all persons
in that age group, whether listening or not.


Thank you. That's what I wanted.


For comparison, television pulls over 70% of all persons during 7 to
midnight. Any idea how many of that 0.6% of primetime AM listeners
are listening via skywave (non-local)?


-
- It's a number below the rounding error of Arbitron.
- In other words, 0.04% of all listening
- or 0.003 of all persons.

Once Again d'Eduardo - All of 'your' Numbers a Irrelevant to
this Group of Avid Long Distant {DX} AM/MW Radio Listeners [.]

RULES ARE RULES :
The Rec.Radio.Shortwave "Arbitrary" DX Numbers Scale is :

One DXer at 100 Miles is Worth One Market Share ~ 1.0%

Two DXers at 200 Miles is Worth Four Market Shares ~ 4.0%

Three DXers at 300 Miles is Worth Nine Market Shares ~ 9.0%

Four DXers at 400 Miles is Worth Sixteen Market Shares ~ 16.0%

Five DXers at 500 Miles is Worth 25 Market Shares ~ 25.0%

Ten DXers at 1000 Miles is Worth 100 Market Shares ~ 100.0%

those are the numbers - those are the facts - eod ~ RHF
