As I said before, those who participate in the radio ratings, year after
year, thousands after thousands just in your county, don't find what you
consider to be listenable to be that, and they don't listen in droves.
Those thousands and thousands of people don't exist. None listen of them
listen to *my* [emphasis added] radio. Now if you want to draw some false conclusions based
on some marketing data about what is or is not listenable on *my* [emphasis added] radio
you go right ahead and continue to live in your fantasy world.

The world of commercial radio is based on ratings, not "the ability to hear"
a station. There is no fantasy involved. Each person in the sample
represents a thousand or so non-participants, and the results are the basis
for the revenue of each significant station. The fact is, there is pretty
much no listening to stations as shown in the ratings all over the US when
signals are not extremely strong and noise-free


That has nothing to do with *my* [emphasis added] radio reception.


Well, you are absolutely correct. It indeed has nothing to do with
*your* radio reception. But then again, that wasn't the topic, now was
it? Surveys, ratings and polls aren't based on *your* reception (which
you mentioned three times above). I know you find it hard to believe
that the sun doesn't rise and set on *YOU*, but please, try to get that
massive ego under control.
