CLARK SMIDT, Broadcast Advisor www.broadcastideas.com [email protected] 978 502 6633. Participated in Greater Boston Broadcast Management since 1970.

July 17 - August 14, offer the AUGUST 2024 PPM Radio Results. Back in the Day, The Arbitron Summer Book (July/August) didn’t mean much. Listening habits change with vacations, working from home and commuting. Modern release dates make the Summer Numbers more relevant.

September Monthly Markets and Continuous Measurement both ended September 11. The Fall ’24, 2-Book Survey runs September 12 - December 4. October monthlies are September 12 - October 9. The Total Numbers offer an important look at format trends going into the New Season. Smart interpretation and no-cost strategy adds income & audience without major investment. It’s no secret that a station cume that's ranked higher than their share signals tune-outs and need for prompt adjustment. Many changes are in progress.
