Thanks. I swear I read that list up and down at least twice and never spotted KUSC. As for David's explanation, I wonder if the same phenomenon has ever shown up elsewhere. A Bostonian in Los Angeles, for example, wearing a PPM device, or a similar Miamian with business to conduct in Chicago. People travel for work or leisure all the time, and with just one meter wearer listening to a station for one quarter hour being enough to get that station a 0.1 "participation trophy" from Nielsen, I would think you'd see out-of-market anomalies in multiple books every month.
 
Thank you!

Just seems they could not count “out of market” listening but whatever.
They "count" all listening by local participating residents in a given PPM market no matter where they are and what they listen to.

That shows up a lot if the out of market station is also PPM encoded. The problem is that often a metered person or family from a PPM markets goes on a trip to a diary market or unrated area. Their PPM will not detect anything, so no results can show in the PPM.

For example, a person or family group from LA goes to Santa Barbara or Palm Springs for a vacation. But stations in those markets are not encoded. So if the travelers have their meters with them, there will be no detections so nothing shows up.
 
Great ratings for 103.7, that is probably the highest for them since smooth jazz.
