d'Eduardo - What would you expect -if- Your Target Audience
is Spanich Speaking Radio Listeners; where the Number of
Spanish Radio Stations "Choices" in a Metro Area is : One,
a Couple, or very Few.
Actually, in NY the choices are 4 FMs and two fulltime AMs, plus several
more at the edges of the metro, such as an AM and FM in Suffolk County.
All and all, there are about 9 of them.
A 'Sample' Size that has Attributes
and Charateristics that do not align and correspond with the
Greater non-Spanish Speaking Population {English Speakers}
Most Spanish speakers are also English speakers in the NY metro. About two
thirds of NY Hispanics also listen to English staitons. And NY is 20%
Hispanic... one out of ever 5 people.
who have a Greater Number of Radio Listening Options and
more Freedom of Choice across the AM and FM Radio Bands.
With the stations that exist in Spanish, the major formats are covered,
although only once each... not seversal times over such as happens in the
English language station array.
Most of your Radio Listeners would 'Fit" into Groups # 1 or # 2.
Most Regular AM/FM Radio Listeners Can Be Grouped Into :
Group # 1 - The Single (1) Radio Station Listeners :
The Reality is that a very large number of Radio Listeners
are Single (1) Station Listeners. Their Radio is Tuned to
One 'Local' Radio Station and that's that.
Untrue. I was discussing this with Arbitron today, and the percentage of
single station listeners is less than 1%. Most single station listeners are
evangelicals who do not listen to secular radio, only the evangelical
station. In NY, the average person listens to at least 3 radio stations
during the course of a week, with 6 to 7 being the high end.
Group # 2 - The Few (3~4) Radio Station Listeners :
This to is a very large Group of Radio Listeners and they
will usually have a newer AM/FM Radio with Five (5)
Presets per Band. Normally They Listen to One to
Two of those 'Local' Radio Stations on each of the
AM and FM Radio Bands.
Wrong again. While the 3 to 4 station range is normal, most in home and at
work radios have no presets. Younger listeners (under 35 to 40) will listen
to all FM, and those in the 35-54 range probably 2 to 3 FMs and an AM. Over
55, the split is more even with AM and FM.
Women tend to listen to more FM, and ethnic groups like Bkacks and Hispanics
use practically no AM.
Group # 3 - The Hourly {Minute-by-Minute} Radio Listener
This to is not as large a Group of Radio Listeners and
they are always changing the Radio Station that they are
Listening to; and seeking out something interesting to
hear. For them Seventy Plus (70+) Radio Station PreSets
{Memories} are not enought.
This trait almost entirely affects males in the teen and 18-24 bracket, who
have three to five stations that play the music they like, and between which
the switch when in the car where they have buttons on the radio. These
listeners are not very common.
Faux Hispanics are not very common either!
