RADAR 93 radio network ratings

Arbitron has released its June 2007 RADAR radio network audience reports (RADAR 93) covering 3/30/06 - 4/4/07. Jones MediaAmerica's TWC Radio Network took the lead this time with a 2.7 average rating, P12+. Dial Global's Complete FM network leads the list for the 18-49 demo. RADAR 93 marks an increase in sample size to 160,000 diarykeepers, part of a continuing sample initiative, with a goal of 200,000 by 12/07. With this release, RADAR data now includes Hispanic language preference in the demos. Language usage weighting provides sample-balancing controls to ensure that the proportion of Spanish-Primary and English-Primary Hispanics matches the characteristics of the population. The preference choices were: All Spanish; Mostly Spanish; All English; Mostly English; Spanish Dominant; and English Dominant.

Highlights: Gross impressions were mostly flat: -1.5% Persons 12+; -1.9% for Adults 25-54; -2.0% for Adults 18-49. Two networks had double-digit positive changes and only four had double-digit negative changes. Over 80% of the networks experienced only single-digit percent changes.
