In each market area, all listening to any radio station is recorded by
listeners as is the instruction in the Arbitron diary. Commercial or
non-commercial, local or not, internet or off air, satellite or
terrestrial. All is recorded and processed. If there is any significant
listening to out of market stations it is recorded.

WRONG. Arbitron does NOT log "ALL LISTENING". They log a small
percentage of listening, and profess to know what all the rest are doing


Yes. Same way that TV Nielsen Ratings work. Statistics science has
shown you don't need to record everybody..... you can record a small
sample & still get an accurate result of how the group as a whole
thinks.

While it's true such a process won't record any amount below ~0.1
percent of the group, let's face it.... nobody cares about such small
tiny insignificant numbers.

SFTV,

IMHO - The majority of the people who read and post here
are in that Group of People (DXers) that you just said (wrote)
"nobody cares about such small tiny insignificant numbers."

Are You Related To d'Eduardo ?

Individual People are Human Beings - Not Quantifiable Numbers.

Actually, it records 0.0 shares based on perhaps one diary mention; the data
is there but all it shows is that in a statistical sample, there is next to
nothing for that particular station. 0 times 0 is 0.

d'Eduardo,

I 'feel' we are not Communicating on the same level.
{ Using the same set of Personal Values. }

I am not a 'share'.

to be a 'share'. {except you}

I am not a 'statistical sample'.
- - - I don't believe that anyone here considers themselves
to be a 'statistical sample'. {except you}

I am not a 'number'

to be a 'number'. {except you}

I AM AN AVID RADIO LISTENER [.] -and- I BELIEVE EVERYONE
HERE IS AN AVID RADIO LISTENER ! {EXCEPT YOU}

The Reality of IBOC Sucks :
AM/MW "HD" Radio is 'by-design' Engineered to Interfer
with the two Adjacent AM/MW Radio Channels at 10 kHz.

Right, that way you can juggle the numbers to get the result you want.
