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 radio. Now if you want to draw some false conclusions based
on some marketing data about what is or is not listenable on my 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

Perhaps results would be different if all those stations weren't
broadcasting crap?

we are talking of stations that get good ratings inside the good signal
area. and this is true all over the country in every market.
