  1. One inaccurate statement: Triton noted of the top 20 markets, Minneapolis-St. Paul showed the largest listening gain…
    This should read: Triton noted of the Top 20 markets, Minneapolis-St. Paul showed the largest listening sessions…

    Triton has no electronic device that measures listening, only log-ins. To say otherwise implies that Triton has the ability to determine how long someone is listening. The only measurement Triton is able to provide is how long an individual is logged in.
