Webcast Metrics debuts new Internet radio ratings

Third party Internet radio audience ratings are once again available to subscribing webcasters and advertisers. Ending a more than six month void of ratings information for the Internet radio industry, Webcast Metrics released a ranker of the top 20 subscribing webcasters, with data collected for October. Webcast Metrics plans to publish regular monthly audience reports and subscribers will have access to additional detailed audience demo info.

Since Arbitron closeted its Measurecast surveys last spring, the Internet radio industry has been without "exact data" third party measurement gathered from stations' servers. This data is converted to standard broadcast metrics such as average quarter hour (AQH), cume and total listener hours (TLH) using the same formulas as traditional broadcast ratings providers.
