February 2021 Bay Area Radio PPM Ratings

I wish they showed raw AQH Persons for each station. That would be very interesting.
What does the "-STR" indicate in some of the callsigns? Is that an HD2 or does it indicate streaming listeners?
Why did a bunch of Sacramento stations start showing up in the S F. ratings? Never seen that happen before.
It's a stream that is not 100% simulcast with the AM or FM signal... such as those that run separate commercials in the stopsets.
Nielsen reversed its policy of not showing out of market non-subscribers and also now shows in-market non-subscribers even if they are below a 0.1 rating.
They do. You just have to subscribe to get them.
I'm curious -- they're listing low-rated non-subscribers but KCSM and KPOO still don't show up?
Are the HD2's lumped in with the main channels?
HD-2's are not simulcasts, partial or total, of the analog audio. The HD-1 must, by rule, simulcast the analog signal's audio and the system is made to "force" this. Since this is a requirement, Nielsen has station encode the analog and HD-1 identically. They are the same station on the same signal.
HD-2 and beyond are separate services.
And an HD-2 (and beyond) that simulcasts another AM or FM of any kind is listed under the originating signal. For example, an HD2 that is leased to simulcast a separately owned AM will be listed as a single line simulcast of the originating station.
I am not near my database, but I suspect that they are not getting enough listening even to get a 0.1 in a single daypart.
You will find that some listed stations with a 0.0 but which subscribers can see includes a 0.1 or better in a single daypart in recent months. That qualifies them to "show" but for all practical effects, the station has "no listening" of significance.
KCSM does show to subscribers, with less than a 1 share. KPOO does not register at all.
It’s always been there, just not listed.
