There really is not > a huge different between ~5% and ~2% of an audience. A 5.8 that moves to a 4.0 has lost nearly a third of its audience. You measure each station over time against itself, first. Like TV shows, some radio stations go up, others bomb or go down. In a market like Chicago, every share point is worth about $7 million on the average. A 25-54 share is probably worth close to $9 million, so a difference of a single share is huge. > > YOU stated that "the top 2 stations have 90% of the listeners" (or > something like that) which is so wrong, it's a borderline lie. He said the top two alone have 10%, which is absolutely true. Frank's point here is totally valid. >
