Non-commercial station ratings

[BHolmes]

If you go here: http://www.rrconline.org/arbitron/results.php then select Arbitron Data, Tampa-St Pete-Clearwater and then Fall 2005 you can see the numbers.

But to give you a snapshot:

If these stations were factored into the commercial 12 plus ratings, WUSF would be the NUMBER TWO station in the market. WBVM/WLMS would be 11th place and WJIS/WLPJ and WMNF would be tied for 14th place.

it's possible I'm reading that wrong but i don't think so. wanted to pass that info along.<P ID="signature">______________

You could be reading it wrong. If you went by AQH share instead of cume, WUSF would be 9th; Joy FM [WJIS/WLPJ] would have been tied for 19th; and Spirit FM [WBVM/WLMS] or WMNF would be 20th or 21st.

At least WUSF beats half of the commercial FM's in this town.
