Maybe that's because radio sucks.

That is only about 7% below the level in 1952, prior to the lift of the TV
freeze. Did radio suck then, too?

You're just full of numbers, aren't you?

In 1952 radio listening was Prime Time more than Drive Time.

I listen to radio all day long and most of the time at night. TV
makes your brain shrink.

The #1 station in San Antonio, which has been #1 for 5 years, played 57
songs for its first 6 months, and plays about 110 songs now.

The #1 music station in LA plays less than 300 songs, and it has been in
the
top three or four stations for 16 years.

Are these Mexican stations? They don't count.

There are no Mexican stations in LA or San Antonio... Mexican stations are
in Mexico.

All stations in the ratings count.

1. There are not 1000 hits in most formats (an exception or two exist)
2. when tried, the station with fewer and better songs wins in inverse
proportion to library size.

I had a station come after my classic rocker a few years ago. We had under
500 songs. They did 1,800. We had a 20 share, they had a 1.8.

Years before, I tried doing double the cuts of a leading AC. I lost big.
Listeners gave the variety image to the other station because they played
better music.


Adult Contemptuous is a brain dead format. It is aimed at Zombies.

I'd do a station for smart people, like KCRW, (not quite as
urban-esoteric), with commercials.

KCRW has a 1.2 share in LA, while the sum of the four AC stations is about
13 sharess.

I'm sure if you added commercials to KCRW, it could manage to work its way
down to a 0.98 or so.

So?

Actually, mid-days has as much listening as afternoon drive, so your
assumption is wrong.

And the usage in hours of radio in 1965 when Arbitron started was 21 hours.
In 1980 it was just undre 21 hours (20:45) and it has been in that level
ever since.
I listen to radio all day long and most of the time at night. TV
makes your brain shrink.

The average person listens just over 2.5 hours a day.

How would you know that? NCEs have their own book.

NCEs are measured by Arbitron, but the data is marketed to NCE's by a
separate entity. All the NCE numbers come from Arbitron, and all Arbitron
subscribers have them.

Oh, look. It is a bigot masquerading as a bad DXer.

Bigot?

You're a member of La Raza and you've got the nerve to call me a bigot.

Being of "La Raza" means being a working class, blue collar Mexican. I am
not that.
