That's more than a "few" > I thought I've heard every possible claim about the Arbitron numbers here, but this is the first time I've heard that a 5.8 share is nearly identical to a 1.9 share. And that supports your arguement as well as it can be supported. It's all a matter of semantics, I suppose. What do words such as many, top rated, bottom rated and few mean? By the way, Chicago's a big market. At least a few stations didn't make the list. And those stations really do have "near identical numbers". Frank Dresser
