I just got this email:
To our Valued Advertisers,
Yesterday we received notice from Arbitron stating that we shared preliminary ratings information, something that is against Arbitron policies.
To quote Barney Fife, 1960's TV Deputy, 'Nip it; Nip it in the Bud.'
Clear Channel Atlanta and 94.9 The Bull would like to apologize for the wrongful use of Arbitron Trends from January and February. Many clients have asked for trend information as an indication of the degree of impact that 94.9 The Bull has had on the radio market, specifically as it relates to the Country Stations. In our excitement to show the advertising community the early success of 94.9 The Bull, we decided to send the preliminary information to the clients requesting it. Arbitron does not allow stations to share this information. We promise to never do this again. We are sorry.
Another great American once said, 'There is nothing to fear but fear itself.'
If you ever have any questions about any of our Clear Channel Atlanta stations, please feel free to contact me directly. My contact information is listed below.
Thank you for your support.
