Alert the media!

Unless I missed them, it looks like 850 has dropped out of the Arbitron ratings in the Fall phase 1 that were just posted.  Who would have thought that would ever happen?

All three sports stations are toward the bottom of the rankings so guess they shoved 850 out.  WYGC is listed as country but they have been sports as "105 The Game" for a while.

I saw a story in the paper recently that the WUFT-FM fund drive didn't go so well after they went news/talk and moved  classical to their HD-2.  Rock 104 was up so not all bad news for UF, Inc.

WRUF is ranked #31 out of 37 stations listed in the Gainesville-Ocala market.

Rock 104 is fifth.

I was looking at the Fall Phase 1 posted on Radio Online today and they are not listed.  Maybe Radio Online didn't show the complete rankings.  Rock 104 is fourth on the Fall Phase 1 list.

Half sports and half apolitical talk. Not a recipe for success on AM these days.

I was recently reviewing the same ratings and see that WRUF-FM is fourth place overall with Person 12+ for the entire MSA which comprises Gainesville, Ocala and five counties. WOGK was number one in the same MSA. WRUF-AM didn't make a showing in the Gainesville/Ocala MSA 12+ numbers but I'm sure in a composite break down of Gainesville only (taking Ocala out of the equation) in WRUF-AM's target demo of Males 35 - 64 and Males 35+ you will see a decent showing.

Alan,

Which ratings services report did you use, and are the rankings you posted Persons 12+ or are they more specific target demos numbers?

FALL BOOK IS TSA.



Yes, but you have two survey areas which includes MSA (the Metro) and TSA (Total Survey Area which extends outside of the immediate metro much the same as an ADI in TV terms).

In addition to MSA and TSA, you also have a County-By-County and a more specialized City-By-City breakdown, although the County-By-County historically has been a "per client" report. The county-by-county is most beneficial for stations that do not cover the entire MSA or TSA, but rather cover a single city of license very well. The TSA and MSA rankings would delute the smaller station's ratings while the county-by-county report would only include the isolated service area giving a more accurate rating for a single station covering a single city or area.

Using WRUF-AM as an example, a County-By-Country survey for Alachua County would give a more accurate representation for WRUF-AM, eliminating Ocala, and the remaining four counties in the MSA (Gainesville-Ocala MSA Counties are Alachua, Marion, Levy, Citrus and Gilchrist). The TSA counties would not even be considered in a Alachua only book. Breaking it down even further to the desiganted target demo in Gainesville alone, I'm sure you will see a completely different set of numbers for WRUF-AM.

I'm aware of break down possibilities-- i was under the impression that you were looking at the 12+ number post publicly-- in which case that's the TSA.

I apologize.

Is it possible to find the county by county numbers without being a subscriber?
