Now that the PPM Ratings Are Out in NYC, Where's the Hudson Valley?

[disney fanatic]

I guess that the Arbitron PPM system is now available in NYC, I hope if the Hudson Valley will soon getting into the PPM system. Is it going to happen or maybe they should stick with the diary system until 2012 or maybe soon to be in Albany and the rest of the Hudson Valley will be ready to get their PPM system? Find out what happens.

If PPM was in Albany, here's how it would look:

#1 - WGNA - still holding it's own

#2 - Talk1300 - Vandenburgh builds audiences the same way GNA does - he's out there at the bowling alley, the OTB, the bank, the train station!

#3 - WGY thanks to the Rush and Hannity fans

#4 - WFLY - the most popular station amongst teens and tweens.

#5 - B95 - it's the music that keeps 'em coming here.

You wouldn't see WROW or JAMZ or KISS in the top ten. Well, maybe JAMZ at #7 or #8. WROW's signal is way too weak - I notice you can't hear 'em outside the nighttime pattern area in the DAYTIME. What's up with that?

Nobody cares about the Hudson Valley.

Isn't there some AM station that might be on the air you could go scout out?

PPM in the HV = NOBODY CARES!

The Albany Market is not currently scheduled to get PPM measurement, here is the roll-out schedule through 2010 http://www.arbitron.com/portable_people_meters/home.htm

Don't worry, the PPM ratings system will be coming to the Hudson Valley by 2012 including Poughkeepsie, Newburgh, Peekskill and a few small cities who didn't have any PPM system yet. Arbitron will have some preparations for this new ratings method. Albany will be starting rolling their PPM's by 2010.

Disney, what do you know that Arbitron does not? Their entire roll out schedule through 2010 is published and what you are saying is simply not there. Whatup?
