WPRK-FM Orlando Ratings

DJ Mo

DJ Mo

WPRK-FM 91.5 is officially Arbitron-rated with a 0.1 share & a 10,900 cume. I estimated a 0.2 share with a 10,700 cume based on call volume on my show alone. My math isn't too shabby. :D

Meanwhile, look who's murdering this Orlando market at #1 with a 1.5 share lead over XL106.7:
WPOZ-FM Z88.3! :eek:
 
DJ Mo dude: Your posted info isn't quite correct, learn how the number's apply, regardless of your math abilities, once you've learned how, you'll have the general understanding as to how station's are rated, which, at this point, doe's NOT include your air-shift at WPRK-FM, sorry to rain on your parade, but those our the fact's.....!

We'd be more then "Happy" to explain the in's and out's of radio rating's and just How it work's.....!
 
Okay, Stormychuck. I'd like to learn more. Could you explain in further detail?
Also, if someone has access to the more specific numbers, I'd love to see the real numbers for my show alone & see how it compares to the overall numbers that is shown. I'm sure it's just a fraction of the number we see now.
 
Got it. Thanks for clearing it up. I'm confused about some of the more detailed ratings like Cume & AQH Persons VS Ratings, etc. I'm more accessible via e-mail. I have e-mailed Arbitron, but they never got back to me. If someone here would like to school me about Arbitron PPM ratings, please e-mail me here: [email protected]. Thank you in advance for your time & help!
 
DJ MO...some advice from an old timer. Work on your on air skills, learn everything you can to make you better, and to help you have a job in
this business. On air jobs are less and less available, take the time and the effort to hone the things that will make you an asset to a station.
That probably means being able to do more than one job. At this point in your career, don't worry about ratings. Doing a short airshift,and workng with a very low rated station, you will never be able to use them...you have to subscribe to Arbitron to be able to talk about your
rating. And, a .5 or whatever is nothing to talk about anyway. First thing a person would ask is ...why don't you have listeners. So, don't
worry about what is not going to help you, and concentrate on making yours a pro.
 
DJ Mo - Quadman102 is absolutely correct. Take his advice and you will not go wrong. If programming is where your passion lies, develop your on-air programming skills as was recommended.

I started out in broadcasting in 1975 at the age of 14 with fewer advantages than you have right now, and I also had a different set of objectives than most people have who seek a career in broadcasting. My overall goal was to become a station owner, so I took advanatge of every opportunity available. If the opportunity was not immediately available, I created my own opportunities, starting out on-air, part-time with a small market rural 500 watt AM daytimer. From there I worked my way up to full-time on-air, eventually becoming program director at a bigger station. From there I became an account executive in order to learn sales, Arbitron and all that is associated with station advertising sales and marketing, working my way up to sales manager and eventual general manager. Now I buy and sell radio and television stations as a media broker, bringing media property buyer and seller together.

Perfect your own talents and skills and become very good at what you have a passion to do, and you will make it big somewhere doing what you love to do.
 
Why don't I have listeners? Because I'm on a 1300 watt station & promotion probably needs a little more work.

I'm listening to advice, but I don't know where to go from there.
I've done digital audio imaging for Rock 104 back in 2002ish. Listen to the imaging I do now.
I've done production work. I pre-recorded some mixes & interviews. I work closely with WPRK's Station Engineer, too.
I do most of my on-air shift manually, meaning with no automation system whatsoever.
I also am a mixshow DJ, having also played live & pre-recorded on Kiss 105.3 in Gainesville for years.
(They just recently cancelled the mixshow I was on, because the host left.)

Perhaps the tone of my voice needs a little work.
And maybe I need to add some extra content.
Other than that, I don't know how else to challenge myself.

What else do you think I need to work on, since you probably have heard my stuff, judging from your posts?
