You said, "during an earthquake." And that is wrong.

An earthquake event is considered to consist of a series of shocks
and after the initial one there are usually several aftershocks with the
interludes consisting of anxious people tuning to KNX.
I can see why so many people think you're such a nit picking jerk.

Look up the definition of the word 'pedant'.

Or better yet:

Note the 'Usage of term' and the 'Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder'
sections.

The more serious the threat to his credibility he perceives,
the more he goes into an OCD compensatory mode
until the vicious cycle eventually implodes.
Glad I'm not in LA,

That explains why you have no clue as to local media usage and ratings, and
probably why you don't understand earthquakes.

Actually it explains just why you're a pedant, oh faux one.

Now go pretend that you own the Empire State Building.

I'd be trying to keep the 50" TV from falling over.

First, I don't care about artificial 'ratings'

If you owned or worked at a radio station, they would be one of your primary
concerns.

and second I do understand and care about real phenomena.

If you think people tune in to the radio during an earthquake, I doubt even
that.

d'Eduardo,

Usually people will 'turn-on' the Radio or TV with 3 Minutes
of an Earth-Quake to Find Out "How Bad It Was". That is
provided they were not already listening to the Radio or TV
and the Power did not go OFF.

While the Earth Quake is Happening : The First Concern
is Personal Safety.

The the First Minute After is Checking on 'others'.

Followed-by checking on the Radio or TV to see . . .
"How Bad It Was".
