The average radio listener has three stations they regularly use, with very 
few listening to only one (mostly evangelical stations) and many listening 
to 4 or 5. In the People meter, the average listener has 5 to 7 stations 
they sample at least once every two weeks. Having more local choices 
increases use of terrestrial radio.
