SAD truth about AM nighttime - almost nobody is listening
David Eduardo wrote: 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 60% of all persons during 7 to midnight. - 0.6% listening to AM during primetime - over 30% watching broadcast TV (fox, cw, ...) - over 60% watching all tv (including cable) Is it any wonder the AM stations feel the need to improve the quality of the sound (digital upgrade), in hopes of bringing in more listeners. |

Do try and take a look at the ratings for those digital upgrades, dip****, then come back here to apologize. |

Listeners do not care about audio quality, but program quality - it is the music formatted FMs that are screwed from attacks from iPods, cell phone music streaming, and personalized music services such as Pandora, Slacker, and Last.FM - news/talk/sports/ AMs are highly rated. You have it ass-backwards. Then why have news talk stations all over the US moved totally to FM or are transitioning with simulcasts? The answer is that they get a big increase in 25-54 listeners when on FM, as the under-55 crowd likes the programming, but hates the sound quality. When they get it on FM, they listen. And AM news talkers have about 60% or more of their audience in the 55 and older demos, which is not an age group with much, if any, sales appeal. Heck, just this week a 50 kw sports AM in Detroit moved to FM... because they want to appeal more to younger-than-55 demographic groups. |

I'm sure glad that the radio industry can afford to just toss away the largest segment of the population, with the most disposable income. No wonder so many businesses are going under, if that's the way they do business. |

Edweenie, it would seem as though 55 is your favourite number. It would also seem to be the age at which you adopted the 'Eduardo' shtick. dxAce Michigan It's probably also the number of academic degrees he claims to have, though that part of his website shifts like the sands depending one what people are saying here.

But, you did claim to have enough credits for two degrees, then denying that you stated such and then flip flopping yet again. Pathological! |

My point is that the credits are not from the same accreditation boards, and are not combinable... |
