Where is Q100's (WWWQ's) March PPM?

[rjc394]

I noticed on the March PPM report that Q100 didn't have anything, there are just dashes. Does anyone know why this is? And does anyone know where the information on the station's PPM for March is?

For some reason all of the data didn't come through on the radio-info ratings page. I have access to the Arbitron data and there were several stations that didn't come through on the post. It's a radio-info error that I'm sure they will correct soon.

Yeah, on the SF board, KNBR and KFOG are nowhere to be found...

Does the data you have access to say what the PPM data for Q100 is?

I called my sales rep at Q100. According to him, Cumulus and Arbitron had not agreed on a new contract, but the contract has now been agreed to and signed.

Wow. That sounds like something that affected Q100.

So does that mean that March PPM data will be released for Q100?

Non subscribers are no longer going to be released to the press in the 6+ numbers that are made available to the trades.

Is this why some of the smaller stations (J-93, South 107, others) aren't showing up either?

Also, if it's a Cumulus issue why are Kicks and AGH showing up? Or are they grandfathered in under an old Citadel/ABC contract?

I'd like to know how Journey is doing.

What they have up now is like a sandwich without the bread......pretty hard
to eat / digest / swallow.

My understanding is that, yes, the ex-Citadel stations are still under contract with Arbitron while the Susquehanna/Cumulus stations were not during March. If it's indeed true that Cumulus has renewed its Arbitron contract, you'll see the rest of the stations in the next month's book. Arbitron has decided it will no longer release nonsubscriber data to the general public under any circumstance. It used to only embargo those numbers if there was a dispute or an accusation that they were selling the numbers without actually paying for the book.

I understand the March ratings for the Cumulus stations (not including 680) will be here after 5PM today: http://www.******************

While I understand Arbitron's point-of-view, I feel leaving out stations in 6+--which no one uses anyway--is making radio look smaller at a time when it needs to look bigger.
